The Third Banded Seagull Sighting at Captain Joe and Sons
Here’s some pictures of today’s banded seagull and ones form year’s past-
Today’s Banded Seagull With Band ID “9EM” Sighted at 1:15PM at Captain Joe and Sons Lobster East Gloucester MA-
After some research and a call out for help we discovered that the banding was done by Dr Julie Ellis
You can check out her blog here which details some of the gull sightings and why they band them.
The Gulls Of Appledore
Sightings of gulls banded in Maine by Dr. Julie Ellis
Banding and Tagging
Initial trapping was conducted throughout January, February, and March 2008, utilizing three methods: a walk-in nest trap, Steele’s net, and rocket net. All methods successfully captured the targeted species, although the rocket net and Steele’s net were much more effective and efficient. Starting in the fall of 2008, a net launcher and net gun were exclusively utilized for trapping.
Following capture, all birds are fitted with an aluminum federal leg band. A uniquely numbered colored leg band is placed on the opposite leg of all birds [Picture 1]. Finally, on most birds, a colored, uniquely numbered wing-tag is attached to each wing. These wing-tags make long-distance identification possible, particularly when it is difficult to see or read the leg bands [Pictures 2-4]. Wing-tags are color-coded based on the capture site’s proximity to either Wachusett or Quabbin Reservoir [Picture 5].

Hi,
FYI: Fisherman wearing Sou’wester and ready to climb in his dory
https://goodmorninggloucester.wordpress.com/tag/vintage-photos/
My beloved wife Marilyn grew up on a prairie farm in Milo, Alberta Canada, far away from England and the ocean. Her grandmother painted this picture, which seems heavily influenced by the coastal regions of England, perhaps Cornwall. When we married I was fascinated with the eyes that seemed to follow me around the room. My wife described how her sisters used to laugh about the eyes following them and giggling, like little girls do.
I was struck by the resemblance to the fisherman at your website. Who knew!
The picture is as precious as the Mona Lisa, to me
