WonsingtonFEATHRUARY 2025 Prompt 17: Parking Lot -> Ring-Billed Gull The prompt is "parking lot birds", does anyone think of anything other than seagulls?! I chose the ring-billed gull, a beautiful, fierce and strong-willed birb who is even found in parking lots or other places where humans possibly lose food (and the definition of "lose" is quite loose here, because sometimes it simply means that these birbs will snatch your snack right out of your hand :D). Their diet usually includes fish, invertebrates, snails and even carrion, but these not-at-all-shy birds have come closer and closer to cities over the years and can now be observed chasing kids with ice cream cones, snatching fish burgers out of unsuspecting tourists' hands or even robbing gas stations and taking bags of crisps. They want it, they take it - I love them so much! 😍 FUN FACT In the 19th century, the ring-billed gull was frequently hunted for its plumage. Fortunately, the population has since rebounded and it is now not only the most common gull in North America, but also the third most common bird worldwide with an estimated population of 1.2 billion birds. <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/feathruary?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feathruary</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/feathruary2025?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feathruary2025</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/bird?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bird</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/birds?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/birb?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birb</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/birbs?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birbs</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/birdart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdart</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/digitalart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digitalart</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/drawing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drawing</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/gull?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gull</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/gulls?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gulls</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/seagull?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seagull</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/seagulls?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seagulls</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/ringbilledgull?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ringbilledgull</a> <a href="https://gram.social/discover/tags/ringbilledgulls?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ringbilledgulls</a>

Swede’s PhotographsBeach Bums.These ring-billed gulls (Larus delawarensis) were at Holly Beach, Louisiana on the Gulf of Mexico."Migrating Ring-billed Gulls apparently use a built-in compass to navigate. When tested at only two days of age, chicks showed a preference for magnetic bearings that would take them in the appropriate direction for their fall migration. The gulls also rely on landmarks and high-altitude winds to provide directional cues." - allaboutbirds.com<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photographer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photographer</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photographylovers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photographylovers</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birdsofmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdsofmastodon</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birdwatching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdwatching</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ringbilledgulls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ringbilledgulls</a>
