So we learned something about Ring-billed gulls—which is also very cool.

After getting input from some reviewers with a LOT more experience with Gulls
than me the conclusion is that both sightings were Ring-billed Gulls. Thanks
to everyone for your input!

Subject: [leasbirds] Gull at Dupree Park
I believe the same gull I had at Leroy Elmore yesterday was at Dupree Park
today. I’m still leaning toward Lesser Black-baked Gull. Note that one of the
pictures has Ring-billed Gulls in the background for size comparison. What do
you think??
