This morning, I’m sharing a simple photo of a resting Ring-billed Gull adult that I took the last time I made a trip up to Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"RestingResting Ring-billed Gull at Bear River MBR \u2013 Nikon D500, f8, 1\/3200, ISO 640, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

The gull is small in the frame because it was resting in the water some distance from me. The thing is, I liked how this photo shows some of the marsh habitat that is found at the refuge. The vegetation at the top of the frame gives us a clue about where this gull species could be found.<\/p>\n

I know: some people despise gulls, call them names, and wouldn’t stop to photograph them because it is ‘just a gull’, then go home and say there were no birds to photograph.<\/p>\n

Regulars that read my daily posts here at On The Wing Photography know I am not that kind of person. Not only will I stop for gulls, there are also times when I will go out of my way to photograph them. The proof is in my gull galleries<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gulls, just like any other bird species, are fascinating and they are avian subjects I adore having in my viewfinder. As abundant as gulls are across the country, I believe they can be uncommonly beautiful.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
