That is really neat! Wandered all the way from MA as an adult. I thought they were a bit more tied to their locations once adults. But Ring-billed gulls are definitely on the move to colonize the East, as witnessed in NS in recent years.

They have forwarded my pictures to and sighting report to them.   It appears that the tag I thought was “71D” was in fact “B71P”.   The observation report is attached but I do not know if it is acceptable for NatureNS listserver.  However, this email was copied to David Currie and Nancy Dowd just in case NatureNS does not accept the attachment.  I will forward any more details about this gull to the group if I get feedback from Massachusetts.
