For our Osher class this past Wed, YES, I did make some disparaging comments about gulls in general, but then when asked why? I said my main issue is with BIG "landfill gulls" that often raid the nests of smaller birds, such as Piping Plover, and also poop all over walkers on the boardwalks, passengers on the ferries, customers at MacDonald's, ETC.
So what are some of the gulls I like? Well how about this juvenile Black-legged Kittiwake? It is a sharp looking small gull that as far as I know does not harass other birds. Pic taken by me in Alaska, but they do occur in DE.....and I almost forgot to add, my boat is named the Kittiwake :)
