Thanks!

If you see large numbers of Gulls gathering, swimming around and surface-feeding in large rafts, along the shore or up to several miles offshore, during February-through-May, please email me at [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> . All gull species (and Brant) are of interest, including Ring-billed Gulls, Herring Gulls, Bonaparte's Gulls, and rare gulls such as Little Gulls, etc. At minimum we would like to know which species, how many, when, exactly where, and any other behavioral notes you may have on the events. Our accumulated results will be published online in June, including at this listserv.
