38 Ringed Bill Gull
  • A group of Ring Billed Gulls is called a; Flotilla / Screech / Savaging / Squabble.
  • This is considered the most common gull and also known as the "Fast Food Gull".  Yes because of its eating habits.
  • This gull has a very distinct Black ring around the tip of its bill. It also has very distinct black wing tips with a touch of white place on those tips.  These bird were sought after their plumage for hats,clothing and writing quills.  Who knew?
  • I love watching this Squabble glide on the thermals.
