Gull Watching with Alvaro Jaramillo at the Space Coast Birding Festival

There are two really good places to watch gulls: the beach and the dump.

On this particular morning during the Space Coast Birding Festival we went to the dump on a field trip led by gull expert extraordinaire Alvaro Jaramillo of Field Guides. I shot this short video during our visit.

If you ever have a chance to take any field trips with Jaramillo I highly recommend that you do so. He’s lots of fun, doesn’t get too serious, and has a knack for reducing complexity to elegant simplicity.

A few days ago I wrote a blog post about a gull identification class taught by Jaramillo and about our gull-watching field trip to the Brevard County Landfill.
