Remsen, J.V. 1978 Little Gull Larus minutus Feb.25 Arcata, Humboldt Co., Calif: I ad. was seen at the north edge of Eureka at the wood-scrap "sculpture" area along the shore of Humboldt Bay. It was watched as it fed at a distance out over Humboldt Bay for 1/2 hour and was studied as it perched on the shoreline for 3-4 minutes. It was almost always seen with 4 Bonapartes Gulls, providing good comparisons. While resting with Bonapartels, it slightly smaller and shorter-legged and the nape was duskier. In flight, the blackish underwings were conspicuous, even as far as 1/2 mile away feeding out over Humboldt Bay. The underwings looked all blackish except for a narrow white border and a white tip. The upperwings were uniform gray with white tip. The wings appeared shorter and blunter in flight than Bonapartes Gull. It foraged by flying 15-30 feet above the water, flying in a straight line, and suddenly wheeling and banking downward to the water surface, where it would alight momentarily and then resume cruising. The small size and black underwings eliminate all other gulls in the world
