One of the most beautiful gulls in breeding plumage, this bird is found along much of the
Pacific coast of California & Mexico, although most breed on islands in the Gulf of Mexico.
Immatures are grey-brown and gradually become grey over about three years,
the red bill and white head developing at the same time.
