1. Birds of Vancouver Island

Coastal Gulls

I like the big coastal varieties of seagull we have out here in Victoria. I particularly like the colouring of the juveniles.... all the brown details in the feathers. I have accumulated quite a bunch of pictures of them spread out amongst many other galleries so I have decided to create a gallery just for them. Some of these are among my favorite bird shots.

  • Dinner....  the following is the sequence of this gull's successful hunt (in reverse though sorry).  At low tide its a  buffet for seagulls: they hunt for crabs, spotting them in the shallow water and then diving straight down into the water and down to the bottom to grab them. I had no idea they could do that.  And they do it well.....  the seagulls out here are HUGE compared to Ontario birds.  Easily twice the size many of them - And fat and well fed from the ocean buffet.
