The Ring-billed Gull is an abundant Gull throughout North America and some of the Caribbean. They are known to occaisionally interbreed with similar species and study of this gull and related species is a topic of serious study.
These gulls can be found on the coasts, but are much more common inland. They tend to congregate around rivers and lakes and can often be found around farms.
