Larus delawarensis. Very nice shot Al.

Looks like the Ring-billed Gull (Larus delawarensis) is intent on a little thievery.

WOW! What a catch....and at only 120mm. Well done.

Not sure what this is......I wanna say Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) but the beak looks rather short. Maybe it's the angle. Dark shoulder patch is right......OK, I'm going to go for it.....GBH!

Laughing Gull (Larus atricilla); 97.5% sure.

Red-breasted Merganser (Mergus serrator); drake.
