Can someone please identify this bird to the left for me? I would really appreciate it. I took this picture when I visited my aunt in Rockport, Texas by a fishing dock. The bird was perched on top of a fishing boat. At the same time, I also saw a snowy egret, also on top of another fishing vessel.

Mary - I'm new at birding and I don't recognize it. If I had my field guide with me at work, I'd love to look it up. Do you have a field guide? I find them to be very helpful. That's a pretty bird, though!
I am not an expert on Gulls -- far from it but I'm pretty sure that it is a Laughing Gull in the non-breeding plumage. Maybe someone more experienced can confirm this.
