Brian Morin: It's a young Herring Gull. Young birds are always a challenge and the two species (Lesser Black-backed and Herring) aren't that far apart at this stage of life. The Herring is larger so a size comparison helps. Glaucous-winged Gulls are a West Coast species.
BobTour: your help in this identification is very helpfull it's a first for me to see and photographe

Chris: A great portrait. The lighting is exceptional
Brian Morin: This was luck on all counts. I had heard about this particular bird the day before but didn't know where it was until I tripped over it so to speak. The setting was better than I had imagined and the light was perfect. I actually had to back up to get the shot because I was too close.
