Unusual Abundance of the Glaucous-winged Gull on the Coast of Southern California
Online Full Text
During the winter of 1913-14 the Glaucous-winged Gull (Larus glaucescens) was unusually plentiful along the coast of Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties. Although, during ordinary winters, immature birds of the species are rather frequently seen along our coast, adults are usually so far from plentiful as to call for at least a second glance from the bird observer. During the past winter, however, both adults and immatures were abundant at least as far south as San Diego Bay, where I noted many individuals March 13, 1914. On several occasions during the winter months I found the species numerous in San Pedro Bay and along the government breakwater at that place.
