Photo of a white bird's head and neck (herring gull) with yellow eye and yellow bill with red and black markings on it. It's bill (beak) is slightly open. The gull is facing to the left and is looking past the camera.

This is the last of the unshared images from my session with this talented model who happens to be an American Herring Gull.

A large gull with light grey wings and back, black tail, and pink legs and feet is standing on a weathered wooden post and looking back over its shoulder to the left.

This image of an American Herring Gull suffers from the harsh afternoon light, but is somewhat redeemed by the lovely bokeh balls.

Close-up image of a white gull with yellow beak and eyes and grey back and wings set against and backlit by a warm orange evening sky. The gull is facing to the left and there is dried brown mud or some other filth at the base of its beak.

A big ol' American Herring Gull having a moment of rest on a gorgeous late summer evening. I don't even wanna think about what manner of filth it got into to get that dirty face.

A brown gull-like bird (juvenile herring gull) is flying toward the camera with its wings spread wide. The background is the dull grey ocean on a rainy day.

Another one of the many American Herring Gulls that trailed our boat looking to score a bit of the chum we were tossing overboard on my #pelagic birding tour in the #BayofFundy.
