Ring-billed Gull, November 13, 2019

Wild Bird Wednesday and My Corner of the World

Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, November 5, 2019
Ring-billed Gulls, Larus delawarensis, are migratory birds that I see here in the southern USA only in the colder months. Their breeding grounds are in Canada and the northernmost parts of the United States. Their diet consists of fish, insects, earthworms, fruit, and grain. And if you should carry a picnic lunch into their territory, do not leave your food unguarded. They may swoop down and grab a bite!

Hope you are having a great day!

  3. This is our most common gull overall, and many remain here in the winter.

  4. Sometimes we will get gulls flying up the lake from the ocean. I get a kick out of seeing them line up on a floating log, getting a free ride. - Margy
