I easily forget that some gulls like lakes and so I’m always pleasantly surprised to see them floating on an inland lake. A few soared overhead, the sun shining behind their wings in a way that made them glow brilliant against the crisp blue sky. Gulls have always been favorites of mine, despite that incident back in ’90. [...] [...] After lunch, I walked along the lake, which was filled with ring-billed gulls and more American coots.

Fortunately a small flock of ring-bills comes around every winter. Thanks for visiting and for your comment. I really miss seagulls since I live in central Texas.

In my opinion a seagull is the personification of attitude (with a capital A!---- bordering on chutzpah!) I have always been fascinated by their..brashful gracefullness...or graceful brashness..?! I enjoyed, and agreed with, your description of the communication between the gulls....they DO argue! Seagulls have gotten a crappy deal by way of opinion,..I guess it is the negative nature of man to see the worst side of things. These are GREEN birds..very eco-friendly and I am glad that in this hardening and changing world the scene at the beaches stays unchanged for our children..made especially delightful by the glorious seagulls. I found your wonderful article while I was looking for some inspiring quotes about seagulls to attach with my beautiful pictures of them from my visit to the beach!

I live on the west coast of UK and for the 2nd year my kitchen roof is playing host to a pair of adults raising a family. Last year there were 2 chicks, this year we have 3. I hope its the same couple . They are fantastic and attentive parents, and there is an adult with the babies 24/7. It makes for very interesting viewing. I'd like to know a lot more about my visitors. Keep smiling! At last people who appreciate these ‘white condors’.

When our children were in high school, their church youth group went to the beach and read Jonathan Livingstone Seagull. Then, each member of the group wrote a verse to "add" to the story. They were each to "became Jonathan" for a brief moment. The 3 of them brought the results home and asked me to pick the verse each had written---believe it or not, I did it---their personalities had come through as clear as a beautiful Maine summer day.
