There are probably at lease twenty five different varieties of gulls and gull-like birds where on I live on the East Coast of Florida in New Smyrna Beach. I am always entertained by them and their begging and social gatherings there, This is a laughing gull in full winter plumage . Some Gulls are named Terns but they are still in the gull family. The Albatross is the largest and the Black Skimmer is the prettiest to watch fly and fish.
