Glaucous Gulls

Fairly common in their range, they can often be seen patrolling coastlines and are known to follow fishing boats.

While not currently endangered, Glaucous Gulls are at risk from pollution, especially plastic and chemical pollutants in the ocean, which can affect their health and reproductive success.

The reduction in sea ice affects their hunting grounds and may force them to compete more directly with other large gulls not typically found in the Arctic.
