Mew Gull
Larus canus
Adult Mew Gulls live around northern coasts, inland lakes, rivers, and cultivated land, often travelling between water and feeding areas. They are adaptable omnivores that take fish, aquatic invertebrates, insects, earthworms, and scavenged scraps. An adult may patrol on foot, seize prey from the surface, or make short aerial attacks to defend a nesting area. Its distinctive high, catlike call is the source of the common name.
