Sabine's Gull. Herschel Island, Yukon. 11 June 2013.

This adult Sabine's Gull drifted into the cove out of the fog, and landed on the ice in the marsh; I snapped a few pics, and moments later it gently lifted up and disappeared back into the fog. A beauty.

 

Sabine's Gull is surprisingly rare along the Yukon's North Coast. This is the only one I have seen on Herschel Island, which is remarkable.
