Greater Black Backed Gull

Greater Black Backed Gull (Larus marinus)

A newbie!. Went to the Niagara River today near Buffalo NY. Lots of ducks and gulls around. These were very far away Probably a good 400 yards. They were harassing a Merganser for a fish it had caught. Oh and it was extremely cold!

Some great action you've captured in that river Dave.

A super picture you've got of them - very well done.

I saw one 10+ years ago and have never seen one since.

This is a great capture of them Dave.
