I loved photographing these Herring Gulls at Compo Beach in Westport. Connecticut has some of the most beautiful shoreline in New England. Unfortunately much of it is off limits to none residents, ehhh I mean protected, so it is difficult to photograph even if you are willing to pay. Very sad situation if you ask me. 🙁

This Herring Gull caught its feast a long way off the beach. It was pretty tired when it landed. The bird sat with the catch in front of it for a few minutes before it started to snack on its fresh catch. Some not so tired gulls that happened to be in the neighborhood forced this fellows hand I’m afraid!

Gulls are some of my favorite bird subjects. They are abundant, not too shy and if you watch them long enough, they will do something worth capturing.

If you live in New England it is supposed to be a great weekend, weather wise that is. Get out there and make some images!
