Heermann's Gull

Heermann's Gulls are Fairly Common in Western Washington from August-December.

Habitat

They seldom spend time at garbage dumps or on fresh water, bays inland.

Behavior

While large roosting flocks are seen, Heerman's Gulls are rarely seen flying in large flocks. These gulls are aggressive, chasing other seabirds, especially Brown Pelicans, and stealing food from them.
