Magnet: Looking Gull Magnet

This whimsical bird craning his neck to get a look at you is a Western Gull, or Larus occidentalis. His (or maybe hers; all mature adults have the same coloring) gorgeous white head and breast contrast with the bright blue waves and white surf crashing ashore at Monterrey, CA. He has a gray back, black wing-tips with small white stripes, a yellow bill and pink legs. Against the blue water is the white lettering, "Here's Looking at You!" I took this photo in the winter of 2007. Copyright Gail Storrs 2007.
