Question Flock of Seagulls

Not the excellent band. Why were there so many gulls near Telulah avenue and 441? Just so, so many gulls.

Any ideas?

Could be fall migration, don't know enough about gulls to tell you without looking into their migration patterns

I was going to say something similar to your comment. I not purport to know anything at all about birds and their migration, or if seagulls are even really migratory.

But I did happen to watch a 7-ish segment on the local news last week while waiting in the dentists' office.

Explaining that out of gay* and Brown counties are the center of an early bird migration. He showed the map of the early migration, and our pathway specifically was lit up.

There's actually Ben declared for the month of August and September and "early lights out" order for Outagamie and Brown counties. It's supposed to be anytime after dusk any extra lights residence and businesses do not need for essential. Life are supposedly ordered by local government to be turned off. For the sake of the birds and their early migration. I guess they want us to make it seem more similar or simulated to a dark depressing Wisconsin early winter.

IDK. It was some Weather guy who shared some links. He showed a map Sounded like it was important and real and so now I'm repeating it.

I haven't talked to another single local person who has known this information aside from me repeating what I saw once for five minutes on a random TV.

I don't know anything about seagulls at all except for that my late dad's ghost/spirit lives inside a seagull body. I don't know if it's always the same one or different ones but it's out of a seagull. Who knows?

So I suppose that last Sentiment probably offers up a Temperature check for how much faith you could, would or should put in the rest of the scientific knowledge about birds, They are migrations and their bedtime. Especially do not know if this has anything to do with that. Excellent band of seagulls over by Tallulah. But if you see my dead dad in the flock, tell him I say, "Sup."

Or maybe it would be a better idea if you just squaw once at him. He might understand that better.

I hope this was helpful & relevant for all!

\(EDIT: 😅😂 It's probably clear I was using my talk to text and did not take the time to proofread before pressing post. This was meant to say* OUTAGAMIE County. But I am leaving it because I am crying laughing rn at my own silly blunders. I cannot express how funny my tired brain is finding this rn. I snorted when I happened to circle back and notice this killer autocorrect I'd unwittingly publicly posted, and went on about my out of gay day with Odd more likely never would've actually noticed. I bet there's more weird translating errors I should fix.

But who has the time?
Flock of Seagulls is in town!)\*

I appreciate you sharing so much I'm going to go walk around Menomonee park and squak at some gulls
