About These Birds

Heermann's Gull

Heermann's Gull, 46–51 cm, is distinctive — dark grey body, white head (breeding), red bill. 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.

Bridled Tern

Bridled Tern, 30–32 cm, breeds on tropical islands across the Indo-Pacific and Atlantic. Dark brownish-black above with a white forehead stripe extending behind the eye — the diagnostic 'bridle'. Pelagic outside breeding; piscivore, takes fish and squid at the surface.
