Hi All,
This is an image of an adult Bonapartes Gull that I got this morning at Quidi Vidi Lake in St.John's. This lake is quite possibly the best place on earth to view gulls- no joke- up to 13 species have been found on this lake in one day(in winter). I have pics of Yellow-legged Gull and Slaty-backed Gull in the same frame, which should be impossible!! Anyway, Bonapartes Gull is rare in Newfoundland with only a handful of reports each year, so I was pleased to get some acceptable images of this bird this afternoon. This bird is cropped quite a bit but I think I retained most of the detail.
Canon 30D, 300mm L,
