Nice Kirk, and welcome to BPN. By the looks of the quality of this image you will be posting to the image critique fora soon!

A few months ago now I posted a Iceland-Kumlien's Gull to the Avian Wild and Free forum. Here is the image, made on Hall's Creek, near the Petticodiac River in Moncton, New Brunswick. They are quite common there through the winter and relatively easy to photograph. Winter gulls in this area wait for the rising Bay of Fundy tide which brings fish up-river twice per 24 hour period.
