I noticed not many discussions happen in the group, so I want to start one.
Yesterday and today while at Middlebrook lake I spend some time watching the
ring-billed gulls landing on water. 90% of the time the birds go completely
under water (body not wings) during an otherwise graceful landing.
Why?
I cannot locate any literature on the internet. Could this be something to
do with fresh water verses salt water? Any one on the list every noticed a
gull landing at the beach?
I am enclosing a small photo (forgive me) as a visual guide.
