Abstract: We reviewed data collected on Laughing Gulls (Larus atricilla) over a 35-year period (1963-1998) in Jamaica, concluding that the species is common in Jamaica (particularly in Kingston Harbor) in the winter, which is contrary to reports from other Caribbean Islands. The species appears to be more common in Jamaica during the winter than during its breeding season.
