Jamie Wyeth has an extraordinary series of gull paintings - illustrating the 7 Deadly Sins. They capture gulls in all their sinfulness and grace, and echoing our own!

"First light is gull light." Never would have known this and now will not forget!

This scene from Harold and Maude, which I saw first as a teenager in Boston, changed my perception of Gulls and got me to appreciate them. Thanks, Brian for adding to that appreciation. https://youtu.be/tKtTwfbhIF4?feature=shared

I'm about halfway through the Gull lecture, and I'm mortified by how little attention I've been paying to them. Thank you for rectifying that, Bryan!

I am a new subscriber and am not a good navigator. How do I access the gull video. I am sure it is simple, but I need some guidance, Thanks

Just finished your wonderful, Intro To Gulls school. Dude, that was excellent! I learned a ton and had fun doing it. What a cool thing. You are such a great teacher. Thank you!

I concur. I have run the banding project on the gulls of Appledore Island in Maine for ten years, and every year, they burrow deeper into my soul with their outrageous and totally punk rock energy. They inspire me.
