The Great White Gull

Posted on June 13, 2011 by Capt. Dave Drewry

Spotted something a little out of the ordinary on the marina breakwall today. Mixed in with the plethora of Glaucous-winged and Western Gulls X was this anomaly – possibly a leucistic ( partial albino) phase gull. Seems a second year bird judging from the markings on its bill. This gull was nearly pure white with light markings on the legs and beak. Not fully albino as its eyes weren’t pink.

“When we booked our vacation with Peninsula Sportsman we had no idea of the incredible scenery and wildlife there was to be seen around Port Townsend. The Olympic mountains are breathtaking, and our day spent exploring on the water was eventful. The highlights of that boat trip was seeing all those harbor seals loafing about on Protection Island, the beautiful tufted puffins and the harbor porpoises on our trip back... and of course we’ll never forget that feast of Dungeness crab! We’ve told many of our friends about our adventures with Peninsula Sportsman and our comfortable stay at the cabins, and some of them have already booked for next summer. Thanks again for a wonderful time.”

“This is truly a Pacific Paradise. If you’re a hunter, sportsman and you live in the interior part of this North American continent-- Once before you die you owe it to yourself to come to the Pacific Northwest and hunt seaducks because it will be the experience of a lifetime. And if you hunt with Dave Drewry of Peninsula Sportsman Guide and Outfitting it will be a very successful experience. I have hunted and fished all over North America, Mexico and South America and I have never seen a finer setup.”
