You Know You Are A Gull Lover When…<\/h2>\n

You take photos of ten species of birds and the twelve photos of a Ring-billed Gull in flight are the images you are the most excited to view when you get home.<\/p>\n

\"Ring-billedRing-billed Gull flying over open water in a marsh \u2013 Nikon D500, f7.1, 1\/1600, ISO 500, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

When you get just as excited to photograph a gull in flight as you are a Belted Kingfisher, a Northern Harrier, a young Great Blue Heron, or a freshly bathed American Pipit shaking the water out of its feathers.<\/p>\n

Or when you focus on a small flock of Ring-billed Gulls even when there are other birds right in front of you that could be easily photographed.<\/p>\n

And when you are determining the age of a gull in flight when you are looking through your viewfinder while taking photos of it.<\/p>\n

And finally when you are thoroughly delighted with the images you took of a Ring-billed Gull flying past you.<\/p>\n

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