Picture of the day

A portrait of a ring-billed gull (Larus delawarensis) in Windsor, Ontario. The popular name of this medium-sized gull comes from the black ring around its bill. This species is found near lakes, rivers, or the coast in Canada and the northern United States. It nests in colonies on the ground, often on islands.Photograph: Chris Woodrich

Since the caption specifically calls attention to the location, perhaps it would be better to have the gull wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket.😬 Sempergeo (talk) 21:28, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
