Field Notes

Description:

A medium-sized gull that can be found near lakes, rivers, or the coast. A black band encircles the fairly short, yellow bill distinguishing adult specimens from other types of gulls.

Habitat:

These are the gulls you're most likely to see very far away from the coast - most nesting in the interior of the continent, near fresh water. Many Ring-billed gulls live their entire lives inland, never seeing the ocean.
