Honorable Trap-master:
Don't think we haven't been in great need of the keen mind and skills of the
trap-master. It has been discussed almost daily. We have envisioned a
rocket net but have no idea where we could soon get one. A compressed air
system has much more promise than anything we have conceived. We are very
humble and we bow to the trap-master's wisdom and resources. We wait on
bended knee for further opportunities to capture, band and collect
information on Ring-billed Gulls. This is a very difficult process. Little
seems to be known about how to proceed. We acknowledge that we are in over
our heads. We are making slight progress with near helpless infant crawling
efforts. We need a strong mind with giant trapping steps to show us how to
walk with big and quick strides and many gulls banded in one "fowl swoop."
Let's go banding....
