The Dolphin Gull (Larus scoresbii), also known as the Red-billed Gull, is a gull native to southern Chile and Argentina, Tierra del Fuego, and the Falkland Islands. They have grayish feathers, and the feathers on their wings are a darker shade. They lay 2 to 3 eggs in December. Dolphin Gulls eat many things from mussels to carrion.
The scientific name commemorates the English explorer William Scoresby.
