Larus occidentalis

Field Notes
Description:
The Pacific Gull is a very large gull, native to the coasts of Australia. It is moderately common between Carnarvon in the west, and Sydney in the east, although it has become scarce in some parts of the south-east, as a result of competition from the Kelp Gull, which has "self-introduced" since the 1940s.
Habitat:
Pacific coast of Oregon
Notes:
On a crabbing trip last month, the gulls were relentless and babysat the dock and our crab pots every second looking for scraps. When we were done for the day, they got the leftovers!
