Hello Hivers
Herring Gull
These 3 types of Gulls, American, European and Asian were at one time all treated as the same species. Their range covers most of the planet.
There are many interesting facts with this bird, they can drink salt water when....
necessary, they have glands above their eye that secretes the excess salt.
Incubating gulls can not leave the nest so they will pant to cool off.
