I need to know how gulls (particularly Ring-billed gulls, Larus delawarensis) drink water. I have watched them drink when swimming. They seem to dip almost all of their beak into the water and sort of ‘gulp’ the water. My question is how do they drink from shallow water, less than the depth of their beak?
Any anecdotal comments or references to published information would be greatly appreciated.
