Paul and I have been trying to get photos of our resident Iceland Gull. For the past 10-plus winters, our Iceland Gull has been visiting Middle Beach in Westbrook, Connecticut, mixing with his Ring-Billed and Herring Gull friends.
It seems, however, that whenever I try to get the great photo of the gull, something goes wrong with the camera, the sunlight isn't right, or he just isn't cooperative. But today, I knew the conditions were good, and that I had a few scraps of food to create enough of a gull commotion. and I had my camera.
And there it was, sitting on a sand bar just off Middle Beach. It is a bit larger and fuller than the other gulls around, so it is relatively easy to spot. With a gentle toss of bread in the air, the gull frenzy commensed, and my Iceland Gull came in for its candid shot.
