Brown-hooded Gull

Chroicocephalus maculipennis

Least Concern

The Brown-hooded Gull is a gull, tern, or skimmer of coasts, islands, rivers, wetlands, and open seas. It feeds around water on fish, crustaceans, insects, carrion, or scraps; terns often plunge-dive, gulls patrol coasts and lakes, and skimmers cut the water surface with an elongated lower bill.
