The Western Gull is a large seabird found along the western coast of North America, from Alaska to Baja California. It has a distinctive gray and white plumage, with a yellow bill that features a red spot. These gulls are known for their strong, powerful wings and can often be seen soaring over coastal areas and beaches. Western Gulls primarily feed on fish, crustaceans, and carrion, often scavenging near fishing boats and landfills. They are social birds, typically nesting in colonies on rocky cliffs or islands. Their adaptability to various environments makes them a common sight in coastal regions.
