Brown-hooded Gull (Chroicocephalus maculipennis) - 18&28Feb2024

This gull species is seen in the lower half of South America with all breeding happening in Argentina and Chile.  The plumage and structure is very similar to Europe's Black-headed Gull and in the past they were lumped by some authorities.  We had ours on either end of our Antarctica boat trip in the harbor at Ushuaia, Argentina.
