Seagulls

I decided to take a couple hours for a trip to the beach, and check out the beachdrift... see if any Augers or Lettered Olives had washed up. Got some neat snapshots of Seagulls. Click for a larger image.

Ring Billed Gull Larus delawarensis
Ring-billed gulls range from southern Alaska to the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, to southern parts of Oregon and Colorado and northern New York. During the winter, it is found from British Columbia to Maine (including the Great Lakes and Maritime regions), then south to central California to southern Mexico to the Gulf Coast to Cuba. It is also found in Bermuda and Hawaii. This gull winters from southwestern British Columbia and Washington state to the Great Lakes region to Nova Scotia then southward.
