    Oh, just wanted to say, there's no photoshop blur effects on this photo. Used lightroom tweak things, but the blur is exactly as it came out of the camera, in RAW. No lensbabies either.

    Haha, thanks. Got lucky with the other bird making nearly a perfect frame I think.


    That's what I'm telling you. Maybe I was shooting the flying bird.:D

    InsuredDisaster, I would guess that you have a Bonaparte Gull! I'm not going to guess on the second bird! :D

    Thank you! And thanks for the identification. I first thought it was a Rather Large Bird, but then decided it was a Seagull. Never would havbe guessed a Bonaparte Gull.:D
