Title: Bonaparte's Gull! I am happy!
Post by: jackbreakfast on May 07, 2012, 05:32:58 PM

Greetings, cozy friends of the alar. I was delighted to manage a few pictures of a close-flying Bonaparte's Gull the other day at Oshawa's Second Marsh. This gull is my favourite by far of our Ontario gulls, and I was treated to a four-time spin-around fly-by that I'm still delighted over! I keep remembering it! A lucky ghost was I!

Great shot! I love all the gulls but bonies in alternate plumage sure are striking.

Oh yes, absolutely...my favourite of our gulls. And playful, and mischievous!
