A New Gull, and the Usual Birds

These photographs are so great that I wanted to share them.

The Black-headed Gull comes from Europe and, about fifty years ago, has begun appearing in North America in small numbers. I saw a group of about a dozen of them on Wildlife Drive for the first time last week. They did not seem too shy, like most gulls, and I was able to come close to them.

Other birds that I photographed are well known to most of us.

Male Red-winged Blackbird.

Female Red-winged Blackbird.

Great Blue Heron with a shrimp appetizer.

Lesser Yellow Legs.

Willet contemplating take off.

Glossy Ibis.

Canada Goose hatchling.
