Ring-billed Gulls
This past weekend, I made a brief foray into Pulaski County, Virginia; quite far from where I usually bird. I looked for and found a continuing fallout of greater white-fronted geese and tundra swans, and was also treated to diving ducks and my first-of-season tree swallows. These ring-billed gulls were part of a flock of roughly 60 individuals I encountered there; not unusual at all in winter in Pulaski, despite being in the mountains.
