Glaucous Gull Range Map
Glaucous Gulls are northern-nesting birds—the species name “hyperboreus” means ‘beyond the north wind’—which have a circumpolar breeding range. They are powerful predators as well as scavengers, eating small rodents, birds, and birds’ eggs during the brief Arctic summer. In winter, a very small proportion of the population drifts southward to shores and waters of the temperate eastern North Pacific Ocean and Great Lakes region. From late fall into early spring, a few of these gulls occur along the California coast.
