Among the world’s “seabirds”, gulls are the most accessible to humans, finding a home in our most immediate surroundings. Gulls are sometimes perceived as 2nd class avian creatures. This, along with the identification challenges that they present and their readiness to hybridize presents a love-hate relationship for many birders. Yet some gull species are among the most coveted birds on any birder’s list (think Ross’s, Ivory and Sabine’s Gull). This makes for an interesting juxtaposition. Do we like some gulls and look past others? Amar Ayyash will take us through an entertaining and intriguing exploration of the natural history of gulls, including their thorny taxonomy and identification.Will County Audubon programs are free and open to the public.
Snacks will be available, please bring your own beverage and cup.
