Ingleside - this is my first experience shooting Lincoln's. Other times I didn't get anything. It was a very brief encounter unfortunately.

winter plummage
Cornwall - note the profile of this bird. It holds its tail and wings up unlike other subspecies of Lessers but also unlike most gulls. This is the intermedius subspecies which is considered rare in North America but I had several birds. I think we get a small number of these birds each fall. It also has a darker back than the more frequently seen Lessers. UPDATE: I have been corresponding with three gull experts and while interesting the bird doesn't quite measure up as far as that subspecies goes. Not black enough for one thing. The bottom line, however, it is still a Lesser Black-backed :)

winter plummage
I was able to nab the Long-billed Dowitcher at Iona, Richmond, BC despite some spits of rain passing through.

A variety of gulls to work through in this scene - also the first Heermann's Gull I've been able to photograph in Canada. Also an immature winter-plumage Heermann's at top right.
Victoria, BC.
