Why it matters
The Glaucous-winged Gull is a hallmark of the Pacific Northwest coastline, easily identified by its broad, rounded wingtips and signature square tail. Unlike many other gull species, these birds maintain their grey-and-white plumage throughout the year, lacking the seasonal color shifts common in their relatives. Their presence is a definitive part of the coastal ecosystem, reflecting the rugged character of the northern maritime environment.
