Ring-billed Gull Photos

Photography by Terry Sohl

My Favorite: Ring-billed Gulls are the most common Gull in the state by far, a bird you may see in any season, and in a surprisingly large variety of habitats.  As with many common birds, it's easy to take them for granted, and thus, as you can see from the photos below, I went about 10 years without adding much for new photos of them here! But my favorite is more recent, from January 2nd, 2021 near Pierre, South Dakota, of a bird that was flying right towards me and checking me out. A common bird but an uncommon pose and photo for me.
