Glaucous-winged Gull
June 24, 2020
This is not a new species of gull but a heavily contaminated Glaucous-winged Gull. The contaminant, an unknown oil, was heavy enough to prevent her from flying. After initial stabilization, our wildlife rehabilitators washed her and successfully removed the contaminant. She still needs time to preen and restore her waterproofing, but we hope she will be soon returned to the wild.
