Someone suggested that I take a look at the Milwaukee Great Backyard Bird Count
(GBBC) totals from past years, which was an excellent suggestion. I did that,
but it wasn't much help.
The counts are all over the map. For example, in last year's Milwaukee GBBC,
Herrings outnumbered Ring-billeds 276-47. In 2007, Milwaukee Ring-billeds
outnumbered Herrings 451-92. Since 2000 (not counting 2011) Milwaukee
Ring-billeds have outnumbered Herrings 1,573-1,092 during the GBBC.
I guess there's no one-size-fits-all answer to my question for this time of
year...

Anyone have an idea as to the ratio of Herring Gulls to Ring-billed Gulls at
this time of year?
Let's say you see 1,000 gulls on the ice in Lake Michigan in Milwaukee in
mid-February. How many of them are likely to be Ring-billed Gulls?
Thanks!
