Ok...I cheated...
This gal is not from the Eastern Sierras...
(at least, I think she's a gal!)
She's from the Central Coast...Moro Bay to be exact!!!
And no...I don't really know what kind of bird she is...
But I like the shot...and I didn't really have any new Eastern Sierra shots for today...

Whatever she is ... and wherever she is from ... she's beautiful!

ReplyDeleteThanks Frank and NatureFootstep!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot of the gull Chieftess, I recognised it straight away, only because of the beak. You should be thrilled with this one.
ReplyDeleteAwesome of her to pose for you, what's her modeling fee? I really like this. Although her colors are muted, the patterns in her feathers are extraordinary.
ReplyDeleteThanks PerthDP!!! I knew it was a gull of some sort...but no clue as to what kind...basically because I don't really know the different kinds of gulls!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Wayne...she was a free agent!!! And a beauty at that!!!
