[Bristol-Birds] Re: about shallow-diving gulls

Thanks for sharing your Rack with Ring-billed Gull photo. It is my favorite. 
Perhaps, one day, a book cover or at least a jacket shot if you will allow. 

We did make some neat Ring-bill Gull feeding observations during our many 
hours of winter research. I still occasionally will throw up my hand at a flock 
of gulls as if to fake tossing food in the air! It gets attention from the 
birds but they don't leave a perch unless you've really got the goods.

I noticed a large flock (600 birds) of Ring-billed Gulls at Middlebrook Lake 
last weekend, 18 FEB 2006, including a group drinking from a puddle of snow 
melt on the road. They must have been enjoying the salt  spread on the road by 
city work crews during our snow event.
