Bird of the Day - Ring-billed Gull

One of the most common gulls in Minnesota is the ring-billed gull.  It is smaller than the herring gull (Minnesota's other extremely common gull), and has a distinctive black ring around the bill and yellow feet.  In the Arrowhead region of Minnesota, you are more likely to see the ring-billed gull in the inland lakes, and the herring gull by Lake Superior.
