Observation details
I didn't see any California Gulls around the lake, not even flying overhead. Two of the adult Ring-billed Gulls that were around were initially swimming together near the shore while giving loud calls, then climbed on land, threw their heads back, and gave their loud yodeling series at the same time. They repeated this sequence of calls at least twice. This appears to be the first Ring-billed Gull recording in eBird for Santa Clara County—I thought gull audio might be a neglected part of the catalog for this area, especially given that it can be hard to pin down an individual gull calling when there usually are so many.
