Laughing Gulls are the most numerous gull species in southern Delaware this time of year, with large multi-aged flocks kicking around the state. Laughers are extremely sexy and make good subjects for digiscoping because they are usually tolerable of people. This past Saturday, my buddy Rich and I were walking around Delaware Seashore State Park and found a few adults and a single juvenile Laughing Gull posted up on a walking bridge. Here I present my best digiscoped shot of a Laughing Gull.
