A gorgeous "Olympic Gull" (Glaucous-winged / Western Gull hybrid) in the morning sun.

It's easy to ignore 'seagulls' -- they are often reduced to pests or mere symbols of the seaside.

In the last few years I've become increasingly fascinated by them. They are intelligent, cunning, and beautiful birds that deserve much more attention and respect.

If you've got any questions about gulls, please ask. I'm still learning, but I'll do my best to answer.

How strange it is to watch some of the #gulls I've been monitoring since they were chicks take to the air!

They're all growing quickly, some are probably only a week or two from fledging.

Went out to surveying #gull nests again yesterday morning. Lots of new chicks and a surprise new nest I somehow missed.

This morning I made it out to visit most of the #gull nests I'm monitoring. A few nests with new chicks! This is an older chick, molting from it's natal down into juvenile feathers.

Curious about how I find urban #gull nests? I've written a short blog-post about the process. Simple answer: walk across the bridges of your city and look down!

I was out monitoring local #gull nests here in #Vancouver yesterday... lots of new chicks!

Here's a photo of two that are doing very well.

Here are two Glaucous-winged #Gull chicks I photographed from my visit to gull nests around Vancouver that I'm monitoring. If you want to keep up with all the details check my website at https://kmkrebs.com.

Also, on a completely unrelated note, I still really miss Anthony Bourdain.

The last few weeks I've been monitoring a number of Glaucous-Winged #Gull nests here in #Vancouver. You can find all my photographs and rambling about them on my website at https://kmkrebs.com, but I'll be posting occasional photos here too.

Here's a young gull chick being herded into a shaded area by its parents.
