About These Birds

Black-billed Gull

Black-billed Gull, 35–38 cm, is endemic to New Zealand, breeding on South Island braided riverbeds. All-white plumage with a slender black bill and black-tipped wings. Endangered; river modification and mammal predation depress breeding success. Insectivore and piscivore in river and coastal habitats.

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.
