Field Notes

Description:

Large ocean bird that feeds on fish. Generally you see one or two together, not hundreds. I thought perhaps the herring were running today, which was confirmed by a fisherman later in the day

Habitat:

oceans and bays

Notes:

the lone seagull was steering clear of the larger birds
