Gulls @ 7,500 feet

Surprised me big time to find these guys still around. Every once in a while during the summer a few show up and then they are gone. I asked a couple of park rangers about them and they gave me a funny look so I took them down to the cove where I found them. Now all 3 of us are surprise. Heron Lake is about 7500 ft. elevation so they are just not common for us. Since the Salmon are starting to run they are hanging out waiting for Salmon to wash a shore.

Very nice Roger. My question is salmon at 7500 feet? Landlocked? the gulls are going to be cold pretty soon aren't they?

Very nice set Roger, you did a great job on these white guys. I must say you really getting highly skilled with your exposures. You've been nailing whites and blacks. Congrats.

We have already had snow and the other morning when I was at the lake it was 16 degrees F. I have no idea why they are still here or even showed up in the first place.

I guessing your used to getting the look the Rangers gave you
I know the look as I get it from Mrs Ant all the time
It's pretty late in the year......... Salmon are just now starting to RUN?

I am thinking nothing around here is on the same time as every where else. The wife the rangers in fact about everybody seems to have that look when they look at me. It is TUFF being the only normal person in this area.
