Well, mine was a ring-billed gull, so what the heck does that portend? lol. Some years I’ve tried to make sure I see a more interesting bird first, but this year we have so many fewer birds the normal you gotta take what you can get.
Must be nice to live in a place where your first bird of the year is a gull! Saw lots of ring-billed at Dana Point...but don't expect I'll see one here... I was afraid my first was going to be one of the ravens hanging around!
I understand that gulls in general have the ability to sense storms and danger, and swiftly remove themselves from harm's way. Symbolic words associated with a gull sighting are cunning, perseverance, fearlessness, survival, and freedom...so there you are! I knew it!

Lol, now see, I would be thrilled with a raven, but a RBG is kind of like getting a starling for your first bird here. Perspective?!?
The Ring-Billed Gull is the epitome of positivity and can teach you how to ride the waves of life with ease, according to https://newspiritanimal.com/ring-billed-gull-spiritual-meaning-symbolism-and-totem/ . Kinda cool!
Well I certainly need that!

Now that sounds like me...unfortunately I am "on alert" far too much. I like this though - thank you for this!
To the Year of the Towhee!
Yay!
Happy 2024 to you and your beautiful yard! Looking forward to more firsts this year! Cheers 🥂
And to you! Sure love getting those firsts in the yard...
Okay, off to bed...
