California Gull (adult) close-up, Telegraph Cove, Vancouver Island
Telegraph Cove, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada (August 2014)
This close-up image shows the characteristics of the adult California Gull: red and black marks on a yellow bill with a red gape while the eye has a dark iris surrounded by a red orbital ring. The adult California Gull is thus easily distinguished from an adult Herring Gull which has a pale iris with an orange-yellow orbital ring together with a yellow gape. For comparison, a close-up image of Herring Gull can be viewed here.
