"Hey, You're Not My Daddy!" - a photo on Flickriver

            These are the two gulls commonly found in our area, but I've never had the opportunity for a side-by-side comparison before. In fact, they were the only two gulls around. They are standing on rough-surfaced ice.

The larger gull is an adult Herring Gull (Larus argentatus); the smaller is an adult Ring-billed Gull (Larus delawarensis). Ring-billed are very common in the summer; Herring Gulls are not common in the summer.

Their differences are very well seen in this picture: bill colors, leg color, and most obviously their sizes.
