Sea Gulls are found from the oceans to the Great Plains to any parking lot.
Herring Gulls Larus argentatus (right) are large, raucous, and sometimes aggressive. They grow to 20", with a wingspan of up to 55". These birds quickly learn to accept handouts and will attack small children on the beach to steal food from them. Discourage this behavior by never feeding them. Immature specimens are as large as adults, but dirty brown.
Gulls are typically scavengers, feeding upon whatever carrion and flotsam they can find. They are also not above stealing food from other birds. Jaegers are sea birds that specialize in stealing food from gulls!
