I'm still on travel but took a little time to post some photos of the
South Polar Skua from Carter's Lake, Georgia (about 1 hour southeast
of Chattanooga).  The link is

The gull seems to be getting more discussion than the skua.  Unfortunately
I only had the bird from a distance and only sitting on the water, was
without a scope, and failed to give the bird enough study (too busy
looking for the Skua).  Photos may not be much help but, to me, show
a hood pattern typical of Franklin's though Laughing could probably show
a similar pattern with wear and molt.
