Gull Crazy
They say you have to be crazy to get into gulls……………I didn’t last long, so still mostly sane!

Had a great trip with the 2024 Gulls Class to Galveston etc. Highlight was the California Gull initially found by Sarah “blue legs” Womack!! Palm Warbler found by Doug was also a great bird!! We had 6 gull species and numerous shorebirds.
Since I’m going to attempt to teach a few gulls next class here’s a reminder: it’s about time to be on the lookout (and listen-out) for franklin’s gulls. They migrate from prairie nesting sites To west coast of South America. Right over cen Tex. Also listen for another iconic sound of fall migration—Sandhill cranes!!
One of these things is not like the other…..Ok recent gulls class, what do you see here? From Hornsby earlier this week.
Spent monday and tuesday on a quick trip hoping for Gray Gull in the Rio Grande Valley. Didn’t find that gull, but always wanted to visit the famous City of Brownsville Dump !!!! Quite a sight!!!
I had a great time on the 29th communing with a visiting celebrity in Corpus Christi!! If you haven’t heard, this is a Kelp Gull born about 1 year ago in the southern hemisphere (South America most likely). Very impressive bill (compared to Herring in pic).
Anyone up for a challenge? Name the gulls. Hints: 7 species from Texas 5 or 7 Wandering Texans. Find the easier ones first. Don’t rely on size, some are in the background, some in foreground, etc. This may be difficult!
