	Gull - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most gulls, particularly Larus species, are ground nesting omnivores, which will take live food or scavenge opportunistically.
		Apart from the kittiwakes, gulls are typically coastal or inland species, rarely venturing far out to sea.
		Gulls — the larger species in particular, are resourceful and highly-intelligent birds, demonstrating complex methods of communication and a highly-developed social structure.

	SLATY-BACKED GULL FACTS AND INFORMATION
		The Slaty-backed Gull, ''Larus schistisagus'', is a large white-headed gull that breeds on the western coast of Alaska but travels widely during nonbreeding seasons.
		The Slaty-backed Gull is a very large gull at 27 inches (68.5 centimeters) long.
		Immature gulls' plumage is brown, similar to the that of the Great_Black-backed_Gull, but paler.

	Birds of Cockatoo Island: Pacific Gull
		Sometimes mistaken for an Albatross by non bird watchers, the fl and white Pacific Gull is a very large gull, but a bird of the shore rather than of the oceans.
		The Pacific Gull is much less common and is shyer than the abundant and aggressive Silver Gull, and is restricted to the seashores of the southern half of Australia.
		Pacific Gulls feed on a range of animal food, including clams, snails and sea urchins that they break by dropping onto rocks while in flight.

	Silver Gull
		The Silver Gull has a white head, tail and underparts, with a light grey back and fl-tipped wings.
		The Silver Gull is a common sight at virtually any watered habitat throughout Australia and is rarely seen far from land.
		As with many other gull species, the Silver Gull has become a successful scavenger, readily pestering humans for handouts of scraps, pilfering from unattended food containers or searching for human refuse at tips.

		The greatest numbers of kelp gulls in Australia are now found in south-eastern Tasmania in sympatry with the two endemic species, the morphologically similar Pacific gull, L.
		There was, however, a marked increase in the number of kelp gulls at tips, equivalent to an annual rate of increase of 22.8%, and a corresponding decrease in the number of silver gulls.
		At shoreline sites, adult Pacific gulls appeared to exclude kelp gulls from small bays in 1981, but kelp gulls were present in most of these bays eleven years later.

	FIRST PREBASIC MOLT IN HERRING, THAYER'S, AND GLAUCOUS-WINGED GULLS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		The Glaucous-winged Gull is a monotypic gull of the North Pacific.
		Herring Gulls and Thayer's Gulls were distinguished by a suite of structural and plumage characters (Gosselin and David 1975, Lehman 1980, and Grant 1986).
		Unlike Herring Gulls, there was no strong dichotomy in extent of molt in Glaucous-winged Gulls at any one time, perhaps reflecting the latter species' more-or-less continuous breeding distribution from tem- perate to subarctic regions.

		Here are photos of "Slaty-backed Gulls" reported in Washington during the winter of 1997-98..
		Note that the mantle color looks different in the first pair of photos; lighting affects gull mantle color strongly, and all suspected rare gulls should be photographed with other known species to facilitate comparison.
		I don't see anything about it that indicates it couldn't be a Western Gull, and, of course, the parsimonious conclusion is the preferred one when it comes to considering a bird a common vs. a rare species.

	Northwest Gull Identification (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		It is to be used with the Identification Chart for Pacific Northwest Gulls (breeding adults) and Measurements of Pacific Northwest Gulls.
		The smallest gulls (not discussed here) can be confused with terns at a distance more easily than with large gulls, because of their light, graceful flight and rapid wing beats.
		Caution: All of the larger gulls with red bill spots, as their bill changes color with maturity, go through a "ring-billed" stage, when there is a poorly to well-defined dark ring near the tip, and a "California" stage, when the dark color has become restricted to the lower mandible adjacent to the developing red spot.

	Kelp Gull
		The Kelp Gull, Larus dominicanus, breeds on coasts and islands through much of the southern hemisphere.
		It is the southern equivalent of the northern hemisphere's Lesser Black-backed Gull and is similar in size to that species at 56cm with an 128cm wingspan.
		These are omnivores like most Larus gulls, and they will scavenge as well as seeking suitable small prey.

		Pacific Ocean pelagic birds including Black-footed Albatross, shearwaters, Cassin’s Auklet, Sabine’s Gull, and jaegers are expected.
		This combination workshop/field trip will focus on identification of the adult gulls of the Pacific Coast. The field trip to practice on identification of the common species will visit a large mixed-species roost in Eureka and the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary at the foot of I Street.
		Mark Higley, an HSU graduate, works for the Hoopa Tribal Council coordinating their wildlife program. Spotted Owls, Pacific Fishers and murrelets are his focus but he also often sees Ruffed Grouse. He was a keynote speaker at the first Godwit Days and completed his Masters degree studying the birds of the Arcata Marsh.

		But now Paul says that the Swallow-tailed Gull is an exception, that it is totally confined to the Peru Current and cannot wander, and someone suggested (I cannot refind the statement now) that adults accompany young, precluding their vagrancy.
		However the Gray Gull may well be a good record, as it has been collected on Cocos Is., well north and in the tropical zone (Slud 1967).
		The lack of intermediate records is cited as a reason to be suspicious of this record, although it did not present an obstacle to the acceptance of a Wandering Albatross Diomedea exulans in California (Paxton 1968) by the A.O.U. or by the CBRC.

		MIKE SEXTON: Back at Port Adelaide, Jeremy Robertson believes silver gulls have already driven away some terns and are threatening a breeding colony of cormorants.
		JEREMY ROBERTSON: Let's say we effectively close down dumps so gulls couldn't get at them they would have to find alternative food sources and the most likely thing is they'd turn on other birds and things and you could have a real environmental disaster.

		A few waders were present at this latter site including a moulting adult Pacific Golden Plover as well as 4 Pied Oystercatchers, whilst a Sacred Kingfisher rested on the mud.
		I then drove back towards Mareeba, via Atherton, stopping off at Nardellos Lagoon (where there were six Wandering Whistling-Ducks amongst the hundreds of Pacific Black Ducks) and viewing a flock of twenty-six huge Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos by the lay-by 1 kilometre before the junction with the Kennedy Highway (to Kuranda and Cairns).
		I then took the Kennedy Highway in the direction of Kuranda, then turned right into Tinaroo Creek Road (Thomas and Thomas, page 92-3) passing the agricultural college on the right and the road to Emerald Falls on the left before parking in a lay-by next to a field on the left full of termite mounds.

		Known as the gull that rid the early Mormon settlers in Utah of plagues of grasshoppers, the California Gull is still considered a beneficial species throughout its range, although it has been associated with some crop damage.

		Most gulls, particularly in Larus, are ground nesting omnivores, which will take live food or scavenge opportunistically.
		The taxonomy of the Herring Gull/Lesser Black-backed Gull complex is very complicated, different authorities recognising between two and eight species.
		Differences between adjacent forms in this ring are fairly small, but by the time the circuit is completed, the end members, Herring Gull and Lesser Black-backed Gull, are clearly different species.

		The calls which sound most like Pacific Slope increase steadily, listen to the crappy recording at: http://www.sirius.com/~alvaro/wefl.wav Calls of Pacific Slopes don't tend to rise steadily, but hesitate half way through.
		From casual rather than intensive observations (basically from noticing when gulls overhead are obviously in primary moult), my impression is that the moult timings in BWP are right.
