Prompt 17: Parking Lot<br>
-> Ring-Billed Gull<br>
<br>
The prompt is "parking lot birds", does anyone think of anything other than seagulls?!<br>
<br>
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). <br>
<br>
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! 😍<br>
<br>
FUN FACT<br>
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.<br>

Khürt Williams<p><strong>Ring-billed Gulls at Lake Carnegie Park</strong></p>
After photographing the Great Blue Heron and Eastern Blue Bird near Kingston Mill Historic District, I decided to make one final stop at the Lake Carnegie Public Boat Launch. This location has often been a winter haven for Ring-billed Gulls, and I was eager to see if they had returned. With the snow-covered landscape and the brilliant blue sky, I knew it would be a picturesque setting.
Upon arrival, I spotted a group of gulls resting on the dock, their white plumage blending seamlessly […]

Swede’s Photographs<p>Beachside Gathering</p><p>Here is a scene from Holly Beach, Louisiana. There are two ring-billed bulls (Larus delawarensis) in the foreground and three royal terns (Thalasseus maximus) farther back. If you notice beneath the foremost gull, there is the bottom of a smaller white bird with black legs, that bird is likely a forester's tern.</p><p>I've had several inquiries about how to get a print of some my photographs. This is a hobby for me, so I haven't been equipped to handle those requests. But I enjoy what I'm doing and want to share my photographs.</p><p>So, I set up an account and website with pixels.
