Passing through

[Joel Bolden]

A flight of Bonaparte's Gulls passing through on their way to the open ocean. Our smallest North American Gull.

Nice capture. Are they noisy like other sea gulls?

 

[Space Face]

Similar to our Black-Headed Gulls. Noisy buggers.

They make good subjects to practice bif shots tho.

Not really. When I come across migrating groups while kayaking they're actually rather quiet birds.

Growing up on Long Island, seagulls were locally known as "dump ducks".
