About These Birds
Yellow-footed Gull
Yellow-footed Gull, 53–58 cm, has a very restricted range — endemic to the Gulf of California with post-breeding dispersal to Salton Sea. Yellow feet (unique among large western gulls), yellow bill with red spot. Piscivore and scavenger; forages on rocky shores. Resident; does not undertake long migrations.
Mediterranean Gull
Mediterranean Gull, 36–38 cm, has expanded dramatically since the 1970s, breeding across Europe from the Black Sea to Britain. Pure white body, jet-black hood in breeding plumage — the only gull with entirely white wingtips. Piscivore and invertivore; nests in colonies, often with Black-headed Gulls.
