Franklin's Gull - White Rock Pier, BC
A gull that we don't see often here is this Franklin's gull. There might be one or two sightings a year for this black-headed bloke as they typically use the central flyway to head to South America for the winter months. The winter has this gull with a bit of a black and white head, but one of the key indicators is the heavy white broken eye-ring this birds sports. This was on an anchovy spawn just off the White Rock Pier.
