Summary

[edit]
Description

I was hoping to get a Bald Eagle but I had to settle for this gull. A very pretty. white bird with just a bit of black on the wing tips and on the beak. I was on the Androscoggin River near the ice fishing shacks. I tried for awhile to alter the photo so the back was as white as underneath thinking that is the color of the bird. The bird book set be straight that the top of the bird is grey

These birds forage in flight or pick up objects while swimming, walking or wading. They also steal food from other birds and frequently scavenge. They are omnivorous; their diet may include insects, fish, grain, eggs, earthworms and rodents. These birds are opportunistic and have adapted well to taking food discarded or even left unattended by people. It is regarded as a pest by many beach-goers because of its willingness to steal unguarded food on highly crowded beaches. The gull's natural enemies are rats, foxes, dogs, cats, raccoons, coyotes, eagles, hawks, and owls . (Wikipedia)
