The laughing gull is one of the smaller gulls that visit the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Identifying features of adult laughing gulls include black head (in summer), black-tipped wings, and dark legs and bill. Laughing gulls are often seen together with terns, feeding on schools of baitfish near the surface of the bay.
