I took some pictures of a couple of banded Ring-billed Gulls in a large flock at Back Cove in Portland on August 17. It turns out they were banded just east of Montreal, Quebec.

Your sightings reported to Noah Perlut made it through the gull biologist community. Here are some details about the marked ring-billed gulls spotted in Portland. I was able to determine the codes from the numbers seen on the steel bands. One has a broken band, which is sometimes occurs after few years. These were banded in a 45,000 pairs colony just east of Montreal, Quebec.
Thanks for reporting these sightings and do not hesitate to submit other directly to me or through our web site http://gull.uqam.ca
