They stand in parking lots, loaf on sandbars, ride wind over harbors, follow fishing boats, gather on reservoirs, and then refuse to look like the clean adult pictures people remember from a field guide. One bird has a pale head and dark mantle. Another has mottled brown wings, a dark bill, and legs partly hidden in wet sand. A third looks almost adult until it stretches and shows a tail pattern that complicates the whole question.</p>
