The California gull ranks as a medium sized bird. It is smaller than the herring gull. It is larger than than the ring-billed gull.

California gulls breed near lakes and marshes. They build nests in large groups on the ground. The nest is a shallow hole lined with grass and feathers. The female gull usually lays two or three eggs. Both parents feed the young chicks.

These birds migrate every year. Most gulls move to the Pacific coast for the winter. You can easily find them in western California during this time.
