Birds through my lens

Waiting for the Train

,

In White Rock, B.C. the railway tracks run right along the edge of the beach. This is a fairly busy track. It carries the Amtrack train from Vancouver to Seattle twice a day, plus other sundry trains.
The Gulls find the track a comfortable resting place.
It always strikes me that they're waiting for the train!




The Usual

, ,

Whenever one takes a trip on the Ferry from the mainland to Vancouver Island, and if you are watching, there are certain thing you expect to see.
Gulls sitting everywhere there's a place to sit.

Cormorants sitting just about everywhere too.

I don't think this is the first Gull to sit here!

Most every Buoy has something sitting on it.


The bird life on the ocean is a wonder. There is so much of it. Wherever you look. And they all eat fish!

Gulls In Flight

Still practicing my in flight shots.



Community Bathing!

I was concentrating on the Bonaparte's Gulls the other day, when I notice one having a bath along with a larger Gull. Not sure what the larger one was.
It was quite amusing, as the Bonaparte's seemed to mirror the actions of the other Gull.
Here's a small sequence of them:




Gollee, Gulls!

Here's a study in several gulls. Identifications are tenuous at best, cause these guys are sometimes hard to tell apart!

Thayer's Gull

Immature California Gull

Immature Glaucous-winged Gull

Glaucous Gull

Immature Ring-billed Gull

Immature ??? Gull
I think that they are difficult to identify makes them even more interesting. And, I think they are gorgeous birds.

At the Bar

This group of Gulls have found a perfect spot to rest. They are in the middle of Mud Bay and will be just fine there, until the tides comes in!
