Here are a few pics of the Franklin's Gulls that have been hanging out at East Fork. I haven't seen two Franklin's at the same time in a while, so I think just one bird remains. If gulls can be "nice looking", this gull definitely is (even in winter plumage!)

What you lookin' at!
And again, birds always staring me down.

Cool, love the photos. I'm completely lost when it comes to gulls so thanks for this.
ReplyDeletelovely images of your Franklin's Gull Donald it's a new one for me so many thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteA fine looking gull Donald.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of all the gulls - the different plumages make them very confusing!
ReplyDeleteOh gulls..so confusing and I live near a major migratory pathway for them on the Niagara River in NY state...but they confuse me...
ReplyDeleteWow! I have yet to see one, and doubt that I will do so soon. Wonderful images, Donald!
ReplyDeleteSuper shots of the Franklin Gulls Donald! It would be a lifer for me. I understand they migrate 5000 miles to winter in South America.
ReplyDeleteNo argument here Don, the Franklin gull's plumage is awesome. Thank you for the introduction to this gorgeous bird through your phenomenal pictures!
ReplyDeleteCheers to you Sir!
He is a lovely gull!
