Glaucous Gull on Ice AK SER'14 (Larus hyperboreus)

This photo was taken at a great distance from the bird, necessitating severe cropping of the image. The resultant noisy (grainy) and unsharp image does not show the bird's features well, but the scene with the bird on the ice flow has a special appeal to me.
