Description
Great Black-Backed Gull is just hanging out wondering about his next meal or maybe has already just pigged out.
This is a juvenile Great Black-Backed Gull (Larus marinus) - Home to the Atlantic Beach to North Carolina.
The Great Black-backed also known as the Greater Black-backed Gull or, informally, as the Black-back, is the largest member of the gull family.
It breeds on the European and North American coasts and islands of the North Atlantic and is fairly sedentary, though some Black-backs move farther south or inland to large lakes or reservoirs.
The adult Great Black-backed Gull is fairly distinctive, as no other very large gull with blackish coloration on its upper-wings generally occurs in the North Atlantic.
In other white-headed North Atlantic gulls, the mantle is generally a lighter gray color and, in some species, it is a light powdery color or even pinkish.
It is grayish-black on the wings and back, with conspicuous, contrasting white "mirrors" at the wing tips.
