A large group of white and black Western Gulls with yellow beaks in the brown and blue water, and some gulls and many brown and white Brown Pelicans on brown sand along the shore. There are tall green and light brown grasses in the background. This area is where the Russian River meets the Pacific Ocean in Jenner, California.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #GullsInWater. I don't see many gulls in MA, so here's a photo of #WesternGulls and a large group of #BrownPelicans at Goat Rock Beach in #Jenner #California (12/30/21). One of my favorite places! 🤩🌊

Ever heard of gull juju? 🐦 It’s what happens when #WesternGulls swallow random objects on the mainland—think rubber duckies, doll legs, Lego men, & more, then barf them up on the Farallones. Our team spills the (regurgitated) tea in the new #BayNatureMag summer issue: shorturl.at/Qdp6R🦉🌐🦑🧪🌎

#FarallonFriday So many fluffballs, so little time! 🐣 It’s peak hatch season on the Farallones, and baby #WesternGulls are breaking out of their speckled eggs! From eggs to pipping to banding, tracking each step of their journey allows us to better understand and protect these #seabirds. 🦑🌎🧪🌐🦉

a photo of baby gulls with spots on their bodies screaming while adult gulls look on

I was very surprised to learn that baby gulls look like this, but when they started screaming their identity was confirmed

While boating in Puget Sound, we sometimes encounter large groups of gulls, seemingly randomly gathering together for a loud ruckus 🤗
