Observation details
a truly stupefying spectacle of gulls blanketing multiple fields around here: 39.479152,-121.791019. we intially assumed we were looking at a field full of white geese in the distance, until they all lifted into the air. it was only once we drove out along a side road to get closer, that the full might of the wickman gull horde became apparent. started out counting by 10s, but quickly shifted to 100s. this flock numbered around 8,500, but more and more could be seen flying in from about 4:25 through sunset as we continued along Wickman heading south. hundreds more ring-bills were hanging out at the curlew roost, but most headed off toward the main flock by the time we left
