2CY American Herring Gulls



They might not be pretty but I was hoping to see more of these brutes than I managed. Here are the two 2CY individuals that came into photographic range. The flying bird was offshore and the other was on Marconi Beach, MA, in July.

Edit: found another pic of a different, but very similarly plumaged bird (right), also offshore.


Also here are some very heavily cropped pics of another 2CY American Herring Gull showing off its dark tail feathers.

    That top one is an amazing creature, looks fantastic with those rich brown colours. No relation, but if that one was made in woodwork perhaps this is one from metalwork: http://www.surfbirds.com/gallery/share_photo.php?imgname=20120826164818347.JPG
