LAUGHING GULL VA-8
On the Atlantic shore: Grandview Nature Preserve, Hampton, Virginia
May 16; 9:00 a.m.
Sunrise at 5:56 a.m.
A laughing gull flies by, calling five times, giving two distinctly different calls, variations of its U-ah call. It lands on a post out in a pond beyond the dunes to the west, where a willet soon displaces him, calling pill WILL WILLET.
