Heermann's Gull (Larus heermanni)

Heermann's Gull (Larus heermanni)
This gull is showing a unique adult breeding plumage that is usually present from December to August. These birds are found exclusively on the coasts. I saw him right where the ocean meets the land, standing in the area at the edge of the waves on the beach in Laguna Beach, California on January 29, 2011 in the afternoon.  You can read more about these gulls here.
