Sorry, Ring-bills

By Corey March 2, 2007 5 comments

So in my post about the now-absent Ivory Gull (see here for updates, if there are any) I believe I was rather harsh on the under-appreciated and overexposed Ring-billed Gull.  And seeing as this week has been chock full o’ gulls here are some pics of this graceful and gregarious gull:

Ring-billed Gull

and another

Have a bird-full weekend.  I know I will!

  1. Lovely pictures, Corey. The gulls look like your soul taking flight! Especially the last one!

  2. Thanks Marcella…

  3. I didn’t know you had a soul…

  4. Seriously…does this mean I get to go to heaven?

  5. You know perfectly well that bird people go straight to the pearly gates. P.S. If you see any harpies during your birding adventures this week, take a picture for me.
