There used to be a small population of Kelp Gull in Louisiana. They hybridised 
with American Herring Gull Larus smithsonianus there (Dittmann & Cardiff 2005 
Birding 37 (3): 266-276).

Kelp Gulls have hybridized with American Herring Gulls and Western Gulls (??) 
where their ranges overlap somewhere in North America. I forget the details.

If it is a hybrid I would think that it was probably born in the Northern 
Hemisphere.

Cheers,
