About These Birds

Glaucous-winged Gull

Glaucous-winged Gull, 56–68 cm, is the common large gull of the North Pacific from Alaska to California. Distinctive pale grey wing tips (not black) give a uniform grey appearance. Omnivore; forages on rocky shores and at harbours. Hybridises with Western, Herring, and Glaucous Gulls.

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.
