Join Great Basin Bird Observatory for regular gull ID walks this winter. Gulls are fascinating, surprisingly beautiful, and sometimes wonderfully challenging to identify!

Sparks Marina is a great place to observe wintering gulls, including California Gulls in a variety of ages and plumages. With a little luck, we may spot three or four different species, including some unexpected visitors from far beyond Nevada.

Come learn about gull identification, migration, and behavior while getting to know these hardy winter travelers. Whether you're a seasoned birder or just curious about gulls, all experience levels are welcome!

Consider reviewing GBBO’s (Somewhat lengthy) Gull Identification Webinar by Lauren Harter and Ned Bohman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=aF8Tw3n4l2w.

Please RSVP to outreach@gbbo.org if you are interested in attending this walk. We will meet in the parking area at the east end of Nichol’s Dr, on the west shore of the pond.
