About These Birds

Iceland Gull

Iceland Gull, 50–64 cm, breeds in Greenland and winters on both sides of the North Atlantic to Great Lakes. White wing tips (like Glaucous Gull but considerably smaller), pink orbital ring. Omnivore; scavenges at harbours and landfills in winter. Two subspecies often treated as separate species.

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.
