The lava gull is the rarest gull. It only occurs on the Galapagos, and the current estimate is that there are about 500 individuals. We saw two of these birds, one on our very first landing at a beach. You can read all about these gulls in "http://wordpress.neotropicalbirdclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Grant-et-al-2.pdf".
