Gaviota Reidora, Laughing Gull ((Leucophaeus atricilla) Plumaje de Invernada

            La gaviota reidora americana (Leucophaeus atricilla, antes Larus atricilla) es una especie de aveCharadriiforme de la familia Laridae. Es una gaviota común en las áreas costeras de Norteamérica en verano, extendiéndose sus dominios por el Caribe hasta la parte norte de Sudamérica. Las colonias más norteñas acostumbran migrar hacia el sur en invierno. Se reconoce por su muy oscura "capucha" y sus chillidos de carcajadas de donde viene su nombre. Aprovecha la más mínima oportunidad de alimentarse: sigue al arado para coger gusanos del suelo, rebusca entre los desechos que la mar arroja a la orilla; de los turistas come lo que desechan en la playa de comida chatarra de maíz y trigo, ya que no les tiene miedo, y sigue a los barcos pesqueros. Las colonias de cría se localizan en pantanos, en el litoral y en islas cercanas a tierra firme.

The laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) is a medium-sized gull of North and South America. It breeds on the Atlantic coast of North America, the Caribbean, and northern South America. Northernmost populations migrate further south in winter, and this species occurs as a rare vagrant to western Europe.
The summer adult's body is white apart from the dark grey back and wings and black head. Its wings are much darker grey than all other gulls of similar size except the smaller Franklin's gull, and they have black tips without the white crescent shown by Franklin's. The beak is long and red. The black hood is mostly lost in winter.
