Three of the aforementioned Ring billed gulls on Prospect Lake-- all with reddish pink round wing tags-- was reported to Patuxent Bird lab.I only received a reply on two of the three birds. It appears that perhaps all were from the region west of Boston. Here's what I had Two of the birds tag #343 and #318 are from Worcester County,Massachusetts.
