It is such a joy to see the Bonaparte's Gulls moving through our area again. They are on their way to wintering grounds and stop in the Bay of Fundy to feed on herring and krill. By this time of year they have moulted into their winter, Basic plumage like this one. I often try to capture the birds alighting from the water, which produces the foot splashes.
Here I cropped a little, lightened the eye, and ran some NR on the water.
