Heermann's Gull (Larus heermanni), Parker Canyon Lake, Cochise County

This Heermann's Gull was photographed by Linda Grant on 17 November 2013

Heermann's Gull is a casual visitor to Arizona from the Gulf of California and occurs nearly year round, but most records from late fall. Although there are more than 40 records of Heermann's Gull in Arizona, they are notorious for being one-day wonders.

Uniform dark brown plumage indicates a first year bird.
