Last evening about 6:30 - 7:15 pm, driving south on 680 to Boardman from Youngstown, (Mahoning Co) - I observed lots of Ring-billed Gulls, hard to count them but this swarm began at approx. the Midlothian exit on 680 then down South Ave. to Western Reserve Rd.   They were flying in the air like Nighthawks, often correcting flight as if to catch insects?????    The flock had to be in the hundreds.      Nice to see them flying rather than landed on Mall parking lots.   They all had a southern movement.
