This image of the ring-billed gull yawning was captured last March at Oregon Inlet, North Carolina. I was on the beach area looking up at the bird on a post just in the water.

This is a wonderful pose. I like the composition as well. I thought the same as Lance when I first looked at the image. The 5D can give some great detail on a bird so I'd certainly see if you bring any more out. Very nice gull image.
