Larus perpetuus

Larus perpetuus

Larus perpetuus

This gull inhabits coastlines, estuaries, beaches, and inland waters where food is plentiful. It patrols from the air and on foot, feeding on fish, marine invertebrates, eggs, carrion, and discarded food. Its keen eyesight lets it spot feeding opportunities from above before dropping quickly to seize them.
