Bonaparte’s Gull is the dainty ballerina of the gull world, with graceful flight, delicate features, and a smart little black hood during breeding season. Unlike its rowdy gull cousins, it prefers peaceful wetlands and often nests in trees—yes, trees!—like a proper rebel. Zipping through the air with effortless flips and dives, it chases insects mid-flight like it’s putting on a high-speed aerial dance show.
