The year is almost over, and you've procrastinated on your main 2026 New Year's resolution - finally learn those gulls! They are daunting, but they are everywhere, and oh so entertaining. Instructor David Droppers will share the keys to identifying adult gulls, and then, for those intrepid souls, venture out the following weekend to put what we've learned into practice. We will cruise from marina to marina, looking for wintering and migrating gulls. David will also share a tool he has developed to make identification a bit more methodical, taking much (but not all) of the pain out of the process. Learn your gulls - they're laughing at you
