Here are a few sub-adult Ring bill and Herring pix to compare to Sarah’s Niagara falls pix. First 4 are Ring-billed, last 5 are Herring.
American Herring NOT split from European Herring, at least this year. Proposal on AOS Website

Favorite Photos Here are a few I liked. I was pleased to find a Little Gull to get my gull-fix in !! Little Gull Friends !! I really enjoy the 2 groups of birders that Eric and I bird with on this annual trip!! Shorebirds Warblers and woodland passerines are only part of the fun…
Enjoyed myself at the 2024 Gull Frolic north of Chicago last weekend!! Was disappointed there were no Great Black Back Gulls present, but highlights included great looks at both thayeri and kumlieni Iceland gulls, adult and immature and several different ages of lesser Black Back. Apparently the “warm” weather means many gulls were out floating…
Eric and I made a little side trip to the Rio Grande Valley to get the most common bird neither of us had on our life lists for Texas. Anyone want to ID Mr Scruffy here?
