*** About Western Gulls

***: The Western Gull, scientifically known as Larus occidentalis, is native to the western coast of North America, predominantly found from British Columbia, Canada, to Baja California, Mexico. Living primarily in coastal areas, they are the largest of the Pacific gulls and can be identified by their deep voices, substantial size, and distinctive plumage. Adult Western Gulls have a white head and body with dark gray wings and a bright yellow beak with a red spot. As scavengers, they play an essential role in the coastal ecosystem by helping control the population of marine organisms and maintaining environmental cleanliness.
