We spent the later part of the afternoon of Friday, January 13, 2012, birding in Pucusana, a fishing village located 60 Kilometers south of Lima on the western coast of Peru bordering the Pacific Ocean. Brad photographed a Belcher's (Band-tailed) Gull, Larus belcheri, as it flew over the Pacific. Slightly smaller than a Kelp Gull, the white headed alternate adult form shown here has a red tipped yellow bill, yellow legs, white nape and underparts, and black upperparts that are separated from a black tail by a white band. (Note: basic adult form has a black head.) Our group took a path from near the fishing port that led to a cliff area high above the village. From this vantage point we could look down at roosting birds and the Pacific Ocean. Temperatures were in the mid-80's with bright, sunny skies and high humidity.
