Tagged Ring-billed Gull

Tagged Gull in Moriches Bay
Center Moriches, NY, Long Island

Found this Ring-billed Gull with wing tags but they seemed to be awkward for the bird and they were also unreadable on the ground or in flight. I am assuming the Gull has been trying to preen them off. The other larger Gull with the Ring-billed Gull is an immature Herring Gull.
