This guy had the audacity to show up at the end of a birding outing at the start of the trail. I was happy none the less though!

[Image ID: Two pictures of gulls. The left is a brown-hooded gull with its head stretched up and forward and bill open in a call. The right is a great black-headed gull with its head pulled back and bill wide open in a call. /End ID]

The brown-hooded gull (Chroicocephalus maculipennis) is a small gull found in southern South America. They typically measure 35-37 cm (14-15 in) in length. They have a dark brown head, white eye crests, white underparts, light grey back, orange-red legs, and dark red bill. Their grey wings are darker at the tips with a large white "mirror." They eat insects, invertebrates, and carrion, and steal food from other birds. The black-headed duck has a brood parasite relationship with the brown-hooded gull, where the duck will lay an egg in the gull's nest to be incubated by the gull.

The great black-headed gull (Ichthyaetus ichthyaetus) breeds in southern Russia and Mongolia and migrates to winter in the eastern Mediterranean, Arabia, and India. They are the third-largest gull in the world, measuring 55-72 cm (22-28 in) in length and 142-170 (56-67 in) in wingspan. They have a black head, white eye crescents and underparts, grey back and wings with black tips and white "mirrors," and yellow legs and bill with red and black tip. They eat fish, crustaceans, insects, and even small mammals.

Crane dreams

A painting from last summer, based on a dream I had. For most of the dream I was a crane (hence the title) but alongside the coast I became a gull. It was quite a beautiful view.

February 11, 2021 - White-eyed Gull (Ichthyaetus leucophthalmus)

These gulls are native to the coastal regions of the Red Sea. Feeding primarily on fish, they also eat crabs, mollusks, worms, and some fruits. They breed between June and September in loose colonies of around 25 pairs, though large colonies of hundreds have been observed. Their nests are rings of twigs, seaweed, and other debris on sand, pads of vegetation next to rocks, or scrapes on the ground among clumps of vegetation.
