It's that time of year again: the seagulls take over the National Mall as spring arrives. These are known as American herring gulls or Smithsonian gulls, a large gull that breeds in North America, where it is treated by the American Ornithologists' Union as a subspecies of herring gull.
The gulls are prominently found around the Capitol Reflecting Pool and the National Mall (especially where food trucks are present)! Tourists often feed the birds, which makes for some great video footage. Enjoy!
