This week we discuss the Ring-Billed Gull and what differentiates it from other gulls. It's been a ton of fun to learn more about common birds, and then going back after listening/recording and seeing these common birds in a new way. You'll learn all about the Ring-Billed Gulls in this episode, as John Bates, Shannon Hackett, RJ Pole, and Amanda Marquart discuss these gulls. We also answer a mailbag question about traveling specifically to see birds, and species counting as well. (One thing to note, we recorded this episode a few weeks ago, and mention fall migration just getting started. Once this episode is released, fall migration is in full effect.)Email us your questions at podcast.birdsofafeather@gmail.comFollow us in Instagram for pictures of the birds, specimen, and more info! @birds_of_a_feather_podcastEnjoy!!!!
