That's right today we are listening to the somewhat grating sounds of SeaGulls, aka Gulls. Most of my information came from these two blog posts:

We divide gulls into four groups, based on their long calls: High Yelpers represented by the Herring Gull (6:30), Low yelpers represented by California Gulls (7:45) Slow Squealers represented by the Ring-Billed gull (9:02) and Nasal represented by Franklin's Gull (10:30).
