First record of partial melanism in a Kelp Gull (Larus dominicanus) at the Islote Lobos National Park, Argentina

Abstract

We report the first documented record of a Kelp Gull (Larus dominicanus) with a partial melanism chromatic aberration at the Islote Lobos National Park in Argentina. On October 29 of 2022, an adult bird was opportunistically photographed resting on La Pastosa Islet, perched alongside other conspecifics.
