Near Threatened; range highly restricted.
Glaucous Gull
Glaucous Gull, 62–68 cm, is an imposing all-white Arctic gull — no dark markings on wing tips. Breeds across the High Arctic and ventures south in winter to both sides of the North Atlantic and Pacific. Predator and scavenger; preys on seabird eggs and chicks at colonies. Powerful aggressive kleptoparasite.
