A lot of people don't really pay attention to these birds. Seagull is a generic term. There are approximately 16 Gull species in the State of Maine. The four most common are Herring gull, Great Black-backed gull, Ring-billed gull and Laughing gull.
I find them interesting and they are pretty social.
I was out on 12/24 and stopped by one of the Lighthouses here. I was practicing my tracking on the Herring Gull. I also did some fill the framed technique on a few in the parking lot.
It was snowing so there are White spots in the pictures.
