- Comments:
Sabine’s Gulls nest in marshy areas of the arctic tundra and winter in
subtropical and tropical coastal areas off South America and Africa. Breeding adults have
black heads, yellow-tipped black bills and black legs. In flight, all ages show a unique
wing pattern with dark primaries, large white triangles on the trailing edge of each wing
and a gray or brown triangle across the back. Great Plains observations are of single
birds or small flocks during fall migration.
- Sabine's Gulls
occur in small numbers or are found only in localized sites within the Great Plains.
