Laughing Gull (Leucophaeus atricilla)
The Laughing Gull's name comes from its raucous call, which sounds like a high-pitched "ha...ha...ha...". The specific name 'atricilla' comes from Latin 'atra' meaning black, unlucky, or malevolent, and 'cilla' meaning tail. Carl Linnaeus, who coined the species' scientific name in 1758, may have actually intended to write 'atricapilla', meaning black-haired, which would have been more accurate to the bird's appearance.

BOTD: Glaucous-winged Gull
Photo: Andy Reago & Chrissy McClarren
"The typical large gull of the northern Pacific Coast, nesting mainly from southern Alaska to Washington. Common all along the Pacific Coast in winter, it very rarely strays any distance inland. Part of a complex of closely related forms, it interbreeds freely with Western Gull at the southern end of its range, and often with Herring Gull and Glaucous Gull in Alaska."
