20150721 189 SERIES - Bonaparte's Gull.jpg

Ottawa West

Three images, three views of a Bonaparte's Gull in Breeding plumage.

Top image: Obliging me by doing a wing-stretch and not flying away.


Strolling along.


Time for some preening.

Note, the light was not great. In fact I got rained out, but was happy to get these shots of it still in full breeding plumage.

Beautiful compositions with excellent detail. I really like the colors and feeling of clouds on a darker day. Voted
