Mew Gull

Mew Gulls are Common in Western Washington from September-April. A few may start showing up in July

Habitat

In winter, the Mew Gull inhabits estuaries,, farmlands, river mouths, and freshwater lakes, close to the shore. 

Behavior

Mew Gulls can be found with other gulls at abundant food sources, such as spawning areas and along tidal convergence zones. Like many gulls, the Mew Gull uses a variety of foraging techniques, obtaining food while walking, wading, swimming, or flying. It often feeds in fields and at sewage ponds. The Mew Gull sometimes carries a hard-shelled mollusk into the air and drops it on rocks or pavement to break it open.
