Dark-eyed Junco by Phil Kahler / Macaulay Library. From the Spring 2026 issue of Living Bird magazine. Subscribe now. Dark-eyed Juncos are known to scavenge across the University of California, Los Angeles, campus year-round, thriving on food and scraps left behind by students and staff. But
Glaucous gull youngster, in its second calendar year. One of my favorite bird/gull species. They overwinter in the north of Norway, and having them in town the past few months has been an absolute blessing.
Their Dutch name is “Grote Burgemeester” aka “large mayor”, because of their big size and big bossy personality. Definitely a fitting name if you’ve ever seen them in action, they’re tough as hell.
Als their Norwegian name is “Polarmåke”/“Polar gull”, matching their scientific name “Larus hyperboreus” (“gull of the high north”), while their English name glaucous gull refers to their color.
