Grey Gull

The Grey Gull (Leucophaeus modestus) is a gull found along the Pacific coast of South America. Unusual among gulls, it only breeds in the extremely arid Atacama Desert in northern Chile, although it is present as a non-breeding visitor throughout most of the Chilean coast, and the coast of Peru and Ecuador. It is vagrant to Colombia, Panama, Mexico, and Louisiana.

    on again, a dead fruit
    and all that flies today
    is crooked and vain and has been cut from a book.”
