Larus glaucescens
A large gull of the north Pacific Coast, the Glaucous-winged Gull is common in coastal cities and towns. Its wingtips are colored unlike any other gull's, being neither black nor white. Instead, they are a medium gray, not much different from the back color.
Horseshoe bay, Vancouver, BC
A small group of these gulls we being fed bread by a young child, leading to some dramatic conflicts. One of the adults was being particularly aggressive towards the juveniles.
