Gulls, or colloquially seagulls, are seabirds of the family Laridae in the suborder Lari. They are most closely related to the terns (family Sternidae) and only distantly related to auks, skimmers and even more distantly to waders.
* Even though some of my birds are not portfolio worthy I continue to keep them for a reference record for me in my birding journey. It’s good to have something to refer back to for comparison and identification.
