Ring-Billed 1st Winter
Gull #5 (same date location). Species? Age?


Gull #5 First cycle Ring-billed with pretty advanced feathers on the back – lot of adult gray coming in. Also note shape is perfect for ring bill.

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).
Some of you in 2022 Gulls Class may remember that I predicted this bird would be coming to the ABA area soon
Gulls class starts in 2 weeks !!! If you’re on the fence about gulls — Dive in!!! It’ll be a fun, learning experience !!
Uhhh,….I’ll fly in the front row if you don’t mind!!
Last Glaucous pix for a bit!! I usually think of the Herring as a BIG GULL!! But I was impressed with the Glaucous next to the Herrings and Laughings!!
On Saturday Eric texted me about Franklin’s gulls at Hornsby and I was sorry to miss. But on Sunday driving back from Dallas I hit the mother-lode!!!! I watched for at least 45 minutes and guestimated 3000-4000 gulls went by!! What a blast!!! And you’ll never guess the wonderful nature setting where I witnessed this………………………………….
