Breeding adults have black heads. |
This is a small gull; here with one of our average-sized gulls. |
"Cool facts" from Cornell's All About Birds:
- The Bonaparte's Gull is the only gull that regularly nests in trees.
- During the breeding season, the Bonaparte's Gull feeds mainly on insects, often catching them on the wing.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
