This morning I went out birdwatching at Wisconsin Point with two of my
friends (taught 'em all about gulls, and now they're hooked)! In
addition to the fun sightings listed below, there was one odd gull,
which was is possibly an ill juvenile Ring-billed Gull... odd molt,
rough feathers, bill looks off, etc. Any feedback/help on this ID is
appreciated. Feel free to backchannel me, and I will respond back to
the listserv in a day or two regarding the consensus, and the ID of
this bird.

I have many other gull photos to share from this morning. I'm about to
head out the door in a few minutes, and will post the photos in a day
