it has very elborate markings for a gull, plus it appears to have no head

[Peanuts]

Wow! Talk about detail and contrast.

(Believe it is a juvenile Ring-Billed Gull (1st winter), as I was told from a similar image of an identical looking gull)

 

[Mansi]

cool freeze.. you're really getting into shooting birds eh jm? they look great!

 

[Chiller]

Cool shot Jon. Looks like it is gonna attack the other bird.:lmao:

Thats what i thought, those tail feathers look a little prey like to me! Great capture jon :thumbup:

 

[Calliope]

I agree... it does look like it's going after that other bird. Love how you capture the bird in flight... great b&w :thumbup:
