Heermann's Gull

[Doug Brown]

I'm going to try and post this photo again. It's a close-up of a Heermann's Gull that I photographed in Southern California. I love the combination of gray and orange in these birds!

Love the details, color are terrific but I would've loved the body to be more in the same profile angle as the head, other than that, as said, I love it! Congratulaitons!

I bet you could count the feathers on this one :)

Did you recoup from your Bosque ordeal yet :)

Beautiful bird--and excellent detail , Doug. We have quite a few of these in my area--and they are a favorite. Fun to watch, too.

The scratches haven't healed yet, but I'm feeling fine. Of course I was only there for two days because of work, so I had it easy compared to the others.
