Sabine's gull is a small Arctic-breeding bird that is seldom seen in the continental US. It is a delicate flier with a characteristic striking wing pattern, with contrasting triangles of black, white, and gray. The breeding plumage includes a dark-gray head with a black neck collar, and a black bill with a yellow tip. These grayish winter-plumage birds were at the Salton Sea in southern California. Images of breeding-plumage birds, photographed at the 'Freshwater Lake' near Barrow, on the north coast of Alaska, are here. |
