Immature Herring Gull Salisbury Beach State Reservation 1-22-11
More of the gulls Gus photographed on our visit to Salisbury Beach. I like the way the light shows through their tail feathers and the white of their wings against the blue sky. In the last shot the speckled pattern of the feathers is just amazing to me. I love seeing the wings in flight. Once again, all photos are by Gusto! and shot with the Nikon D90 and the 18-200mm lens.
As for the gulls, I think the first 2 are winter Ring-billed Gulls and the last one is an immature Herring Gull, but if you have any other suggestions, let me know by leaving a comment in the comment box and please explain to me why. Thanks!
Nice contrast, color and light.
