it's about time to re-air this, given the subject matter at hand:

Hi Tweeters,
Since there has been so much discussion on Tweeters about gulls lately, I
think it is time to reprise a gull discussion that occurred on Tweeters
about eight years ago.
Someone e-mailed Tweeters asking if anyone knew a ditty like "Thirty Days
Hath September . . ." that had all of the field marks of each of the gulls
in it, and could be used as a tool for identifying Washington's gulls. I
offered this one (this was before many of the rare gulls started showing up,
which is why they aren't included):
Black wing-tips hath the Heermann's Gull,
Black wing-tips hath the Franklin's Gull,
Black wing-tips hath the Bonaparte's Gull,
Black wing-tips hath the Ring-billed Gull,
Black wing-tips hath the Mew Gull,
Black wing-tips hath the California Gull,
Black wing-tips hath the Herring Gull,
Black wing-tips hath the Thayer's Gull,
Black wing-tips hath the Western Gull,
Black wing-tips hath the Black-legged Kittiwake,
Black wing-tips hath the Sabine's Gull,
Ah, heck, I think I'll just go look at ducks.

thanks, denny :)
