About These Birds

Lesser Black-backed Gull

Lesser Black-backed Gull, 48–56 cm, breeds across Northern Europe and Iceland, undertaking one of the longest migrations of any large gull — to winter quarters in East Africa, India, and the Gulf. Slate-black mantle, yellow legs, yellow bill with red spot. Omnivore; increasingly winters in North America.

Aleutian Tern

Aleutian Tern, 32–34 cm, breeds colonially in Alaska and Russian Far East, wintering in Southeast Asian waters — one of the most poorly tracked migrations among seabirds. Dark grey above, white below, black cap with white forehead. Piscivore; dives for small fish. Near Threatened.
