Laughing Gull

A medium-sized gull with fairly long wings and long legs, the Laughing Gull is gray above, white below, and has a black hood.   It has a laugh-like call.  It eats crustaceans, insects, and fish, but will eat almost anything it finds in a parking lot, along the Seawall, or behind a ferry or shrimp boat.
