However, you left out the part about deleting the pictures of the blank blue sky ;)<br /><br />As for the gull. Hard to say. Pretty confident it's a first year. Could be a Herring Gull or a Lesser Black-backed Gull.Daily Chicago Photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160944740404010641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821462867739969178.post-31343166085273120292009-07-30T19:33:52.956+02:002009-07-30T19:33:52.956+02:00First year hering gull.

The baby gulls being raised on the office building below mine look like that but fluffier and today I saw one just like the photo flying chaotically off a ledge in town into a bunch of people to get some food - definitely a young bird who hasn't got things worked out yet.margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07727534908302610374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821462867739969178.post-28948530354068920082009-07-29T19:27:06.121+02:002009-07-29T19:27:06.121+02:00@ ellievellie - Sometimes I forget why I chose Vog...@ ellievellie - Sometimes I forget why I chose <i>Vogon Poet</i> as a nick...

I thought the third one would be a juvenile. Ming says it could be a female. I'll have to research some more. We have so many here and I enjoy watching them. There was a good display of seagulls at the Natural History museum in Santa Barbara, California, and that's where I first learned about the darker coloring being a juvenile. I don't remember what they said about females.tapirgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098235462073493603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821462867739969178.post-9475026851275936532009-07-29T06:24:46.577+02:002009-07-29T06:24:46.577+02:00Love the seagull shot against the blue skyLove the seagull shot against the blue skyBaruchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05349100299537927380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821462867739969178.post-46516369250731663722009-07-28T22:00:09.144+02:002009-07-28T22:00:09.144+02:00What a lovely photos!
