A bit of rarity for us! Franklin's Gull

A bit of rarity for us! Franklin's Gull (Leucophaeus pipixcan)

I was able to capture this Franklins Gull down on the beach this last weekend. We get a lot of Laughing and Bonaparte's, but this is the very first time seeing these here in Mexico.

The shot was from a pretty long ways away, but it came ok for identification.
