The adult's plumage is silvery gray with a white head and underbody. This gull is similar to the herring gull but is smaller, has yellow feet, and a narrow black ring around its bill. They have a loud, raucous mewing cry that is very high pitched. The greatest numbers of these birds are found in RI during the winter.
