        Thank you very much professor. One of my friends told me that I was confusing seagulls with terns. I said no. While sailing on Lake Michigan, I have noticed that small baby-like seagulls hanging around the seawall (and seen them flying) with complete black heads, and after a periof of a week or so, their head become fully white. Thank you professor.
