The Grey Gull ("Leucophaeus modestus") is a gull found along the Pacific coast of South America. Unusually 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 and Panama.
