Description
I was out with my camera this evening, and I spotted a flock of gull flying around in a farm field. They have black heads and a white ring around their eyes. I’m sure they are either Franklin’s Gulls, Laughing Gulls, or Bonaparte’s Gulls. I don’t think they’re Bonaparte’s because they have more gray on their back. I don’t think they are Little Gulls because they were bigger and had a white ring around their eyes, and I doubt they are Black-headed Gulls because they don’t live around here. My guess is with the Franklin’s Gull because Laughing Gulls are more of shore and sea birds.

Can Someone Help Me ID This Gull?!
I don’t recognize it. Try the free Merlin bird ID on http://www.allaboutbirds.org
Bonaparte’s Gull no doubt… Check out this link https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Bonapartes_Gull/id
Thanks for the help Micah! That was my second guess.

Bonaparte’s Gull
