This beautiful gull was perched on the railing of the pier at Avila Beach. He appeared to be used to people, and let me get fairly close, but was definitely keeping his eye on me....
Found this cute cafe in Avila Beach, near the marina, beach and pier. It was a great spot for a yummy lunch before heading out for more adventures. The soft shell crab sandwich was amazing! Judith Sparhawk
I'm not great at gull identification until they get to adult plumage, but when I saw this one I knew it was an immature Glaucous-winged Gull, most likely first winter. It is so different from the most common gulls in the area, I wanted to document it. Avila Beach Pier, CA,
