7 years ago I saw 2 ringed laughing gulls on Aruba.
Up till now I did not receive info from Euring.
Both rings were of the Washington series.
Can anybody help?
Cheers, Theo Muusse

Hi Theo,
try this instead;

I reported a Ring-Billed Gull we observed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in september 2012 here, and was amazed to get the ringing details within minutes to my e-mail! Late on a Saturday evening.... If all the details are correct it seems like they have a system that get the ringing data automatically. Fantastic
The gull was ringed 5 years earlier near Chicago, so not very exciting. But that they still use alumium rings for them was bizarr.
Cheers,
Morten

Thanx again, Morten!
It works great!
FYI: both birds have been ringed on Aruba, the oldest is a 3rd cy.
