Bonaparte's Gull
Original artwork by David Allen Sibley We greatly appreciate Mr. Sibley's donation of his original artwork to use for the cover of the program for the 13th Annual Space Coast Birding & Wildlife Festival. It helps to emphasize the North American Gull Conference as an important part of this year's Festival. Mr. Sibley has also approved one reproduction, which he has signed. It will be framed and offered in the Festival's Silent Auction. Bonaparte’s Gull has been among the birds sighted during the Festival's annual pelagic boat trip.
