About

The comical laughter-like call and distinctive appearance of this coastal gull make it easy to recognize. Large flocks of these birds can be found all along the Atlantic coast and Chesapeake Ba. As opportunistic a feeder as any gull, this bird has mastered the art of stealing food right out of a Brown Pelican's pouch as it surfaces from a successful dive!
