I received this reply to my posting on Bonaparte's Gull behavior and thought 
someone might find it interesting.  Don Holt, Johnson City
                                     -----------
On 11/7/02 at Dale Hollow Lake near the dam I observed a group of 25
Bonaparte Gulls taking fish away from 6 common loons as they surfaced.
Groups of 5 to 10 gulls would see the loons surfacing, move to and hover
over that area, and within a second or two the loon would break the surface
and the gulls would mob.  There were about 6 ringbilled gulls with the
group, but I didn't see them participate.  Terry Campbell in Celina, tn.
