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.

Yellow-legged Gull

Yellow-legged Gull, 52–68 cm, is the large gull of Mediterranean and Atlantic Iberian coasts. Yellow legs distinguish it from the pink-legged Herring Gull; darker grey mantle. Omnivore; highly adaptable — increasing in urban areas and landfills across southern Europe and North Africa.
