About These Birds
Heermann's Gull
Heermann's Gull, 46–51 cm, is distinctive — dark grey body, white head (breeding), red bill. Breeds almost entirely on Isla Rasa in the Gulf of California, then disperses north along the Pacific coast to British Columbia. Kleptoparasite; steals fish from Brown Pelicans. Near Threatened; range highly restricted.
Ross's Gull
Ross's Gull, 29–32 cm, is a delicate Arctic gull breeding in Siberian tundra, with its winter range largely unknown — possibly far out in the pack ice. Rosy flush to underparts in breeding plumage; wedge-shaped tail; black neck ring. Feeds on invertebrates and small fish along ice edges.
