For the last couple days I have been finding a Laughing Gull at a lake near Lincoln NE USA. The range map I have shows these are coastal birds so it seems odd to find one in the middle of the country. I enjoyed the detective work behind differentiating it from the common Franklin's Gull. Here are a couple definitive photos I got today:
