Yes the Laughing Gull Beryl.

Don't want to bog you down with details which won't interest you but please listen to this......Breeds from Nova Scotia south along the North American eastern seaboard to the Gulf of Mexico as far as Venezuela, as well as in the west Indies. It moves south to winter from North Carolina to northern South America and on the Pacific coast from southern Mexico to Peru.

So whats one doing where you live you have to ask. The only one I ever saw was last year at Marton Mere a very good 'birding' spot in Blackpool of all places. The many mysteries of bird migration......amazing creatures.

Pete.

Merlin Regular Member Info Real name: Pete Location: N W England Gallery: 6 Equipment: Nothing but my notebook which is one of the most important parts of birding. To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.
