20090524 034 Bonaparte's Gull.jpg

Mississippi Lake/River, Ontario

An other hand-held shot from my boat. It was quite a challenge to get these shots as the water was choppy and the boat was rocking quite a bit. I probably took some 50 shots and ended up with 4 or 5 decent ones. On many of the shots, I only got half or part of the gull, many others were simply out of focus. Anyway, I was happy to get these shots as this was an other first for me and I had not seen this gull at the lake before.
