This advanced(partial black hood) first summer Little Gull was one of at least four found by Steve Mirick on 6/7/06 after a mild Noreaster. I finally found this individual with about 25 Bonaparte's Gulls and 3 Laughing Gulls working the rack along Rye beach off of Locke Rd. After an hour of searching at every pull off north of MA along the NH coast in the pouring rain, this small gull graced my lifelist.
