In response to Rick Blom's submission on "The Gull":
At last! Thank you, Rick! I think it was you who noted earlier that
all of this discussion should serve as a learning experience. This
is the first intelligent discussion of the issues and reasoning that
went into current examination of "The Gull's" photos. I was having
problems with the discussion up to this point because pronouncements
were being made, but with virtually no discussion of the reason
behind those decisions.
Once again, thank you for laying out the issues and research
strategies required to critically examine a bird such as this one.
Cheers,
Norm
