Glaucous-winged Gull

Here is an adult Glaucous-winged Gull down at the Marina on Thursday. This guy is about three or four years old based on beak colour.

The species is very common here on the coast, they appear to be able to eat anything and are quite territorial. Last week I witnessed one steal an egg out of a crows nest near our house, it took off like a rocket, egg in beak, persued by a very angry crow.
