Swallow-tailed Gull, 55–60 cm, is the world's only fully nocturnal gull, breeding on the Galápagos Islands and roosting on the Humboldt Current. Distinctive red orbital ring, black-and-white head, deeply forked tail. Feeds at sea at night on squid and fish attracted to surface by bioluminescence.

Andean Gull

Andean Gull, 45–48 cm, breeds at high-altitude Andean lakes from Colombia to Argentina, typically above 3000 m. Black hood in breeding plumage; white below with grey mantle. Largely insectivore, following cattle or foraging at lake edges. Partial altitudinal migrant descending to Pacific and Atlantic coasts in winter.
