Tag: Gulls

Shortly after writing about how I almost never see gulls in my neighborhood, we went on a walk across the street and found a field full of gulls. It has been a very wet summer in Michigan. This has caused the soccer and football fields a crossed the street to flood. Apparently the gulls have found a feast in this new marshy land.

If you had told me as a kid in northern Michigan, that one day I would miss seeing gulls, I would have told you that you were crazy. Growing up on a farm just inland from Lake Huron, I can remember my Father plowing a field, and Gulls being so thick that it looked like they sprung from the ground. We mainly had Ring-billed gulls, and Herring gulls, but it was not unknown to see other species too.
