Description
A very close portrait of a breeding Western Gull (Larus occidentalis). Captured near the Los Angeles harbor. This is a full-frame image, not cropped.
Breeding adults are white with black/dark gray back and upperwings, black primary feathers, yellow bill with red mark near the tip, and pale pink legs and feet.
I was stunned at the sheer beauty of this gull at close range. Just look at the eye, the eye-ring, and the bill with red mark on it!
The Western Gull is widespread along Pacific beaches of the U.S. and Baja California, where its large size and dark back set it apart from other local gulls. These large gulls eat a wide variety of fish, marine invertebrates, and carrion, both along the shoreline and out at sea. Although they are fairly common within their range, Western Gull numbers have declined, placing the species on the Partners in Flight Yellow Watch List.
