This ring-billed gull is the first accepted record of this species for Romania

Ring-billed Gull

Ring-billed Gull at a very low tide on the Gulf of Mexico.

Shocked the heck out of me to walk out on the back deck and see this one. I guess it is a hatching year Gull.

On one of the beaches at Doran Park, we saw the only Ring-billed Gulls I saw the whole time I was in CA last summer

a rather odd looking bird at this age with the retained worn juvenile coverts

I got lucky grabbing this image of this Gull. Even got its eye. Best viewed in larger format.

And this Ring-billed Gull flew by.

Just a Gull

Ring-billed Gull photographed in Marysville, California. Another example of the effect of side-lighting.

What is it with Ring-billed Gulls and parking lot light poles? This one was at that gas station that morning - same place as the little pond with the Redwings.

We saw Ring-billed Gulls all across the prairies. I suppose there may have been lakes or rivers nearby (there certainly are lakes around Madison), but sometimes I saw these even when it seemed quite arid. This one was in a shopping mall parking lot.

This mature bird gave me an easy fly bye on a Naples, Florida, beach.
