A Ring-billed Gull floating in the water by the docks eating a fish. This Ring-billed gull was by the docks in The Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge.

Was brought into the police department where I work, and was taken by a very kind citizen to keep for the night and will be brought to the wildlife rehab center in the morning. He had an injured wing, either hit by a car, or a bbgun we guess. He was found on the road by a citizen.
