Someday, I should take a beach walk with the author of the Beach Chair Scientist blog. Â I’m sure she could help me name the different species of seagulls.
In the off season, I see more variety. Â For example: the huge “winter gulls”, and appearing recently, the majestic gulls with bright black and white coloring.
These temporary residents are definitely more skittish of humans. Â The typical Jersey shore seagull will look you straight in the eye, and almost dare you to step over them. Â Oh, and then steal your sandwich 😉
