kelpaavien

Kelpaavien, also known as the kelp gull, is a medium-sized gull species native to the coastal regions of the Pacific Northwest in North America. It is one of the largest gulls in the region, with a length of up to 28 inches and a wingspan of up to 60 inches. Kelpaavien is easily recognizable by its distinctive black and white plumage, with a black cap, white cheeks, and a black back and wings.

Kelpaavien is a scavenger and opportunistic feeder, often found in coastal areas where it feeds on a variety of items such as fish, crustaceans, and carrion. It is also known to feed on human food, including garbage and discarded food items. Kelpaavien is a social bird, often seen in large flocks, and is known for its loud, raucous calls.

Kelpaavien is a migratory bird, breeding in the coastal regions of the Pacific Northwest during the summer months and migrating south to winter in California and Mexico. It is a protected species under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and its population is currently stable. Kelpaavien is an important species in the ecosystem, as it helps to control populations of other birds and animals by scavenging on carrion.
