  1. Uh, that’s actually not a gull. Rather it’s a member of the group called “shorebirds,” in this case specifically, a sanderling. Nice pictures.

  2. It’s a sanderling, which is in the sandpiper group, also called shorebirds. The shorebirds include several different kinds of sandpipers, as well as plovers, willets, curlews and a number of others. Do a google image search for “sanderling,” and you’ll find lots of images that look just like the bird here.
