I had been wondering where all the Ring-billed Gulls had gone. Usually, I 
find them in the Corridor Marketplace parking lot. Occassionally, they will 
fly over to Oxbow Lake. I hadn't seen them for quite some time and hadn't 
even thought they migrate. Just yesterday I saw my first Ring-billed Gull 
of the summer in the parking lot. Who would have thought someone could get 
excited about that!
