Ring-billed Gull - 20 Jan 2005
20 January 2005 Detroit River, Ecorse
1200 Hrs. Cloudy, gray, cold, 12ºF; It’s a frigid day with snow on the ground from yesterday’s 2”. A walk to the edge of the pier at Southfield and Jefferson yielded only a few Ring-billed Gulls along the railing. The river is open with no ice or flows. A small congregation of Mute Swans, Mergansers (Common and Hooded), Canvasbacks, Ring-billed, Goldeneye and Redheads are out in the middle of the river, but nothing near shore. I’m stuck with taking pics of the gulls on the rails. Using fill-flash and the D70 / 400mm/f5.6 on ‘P’ I get some nice images of the gulls.
