The tide was going out; this little pool offered something's to eat so, this Short-billed Gull (I think) took advantage. The pool was dead calm. The pool was empty 15 minutes after these images were made.

Nice mid-March day-70F while we were at the park. Very few birds evident. So I said to myself "Self, why not walk over to the little pool and check things out."

Fun and interesting to watch this bird do its thing. I believe this is a non-breeding adult.

Download and enjoy!

Great reflections. I think the bird thinks that is a good looking bird in the water.

Not always. Mew Gull used to be called Short-billed Gull. It very similar to a Ring-billed Gull but with a noticeable shorter unmarked bill.

Using Merlin and Bird.ID it appears to be a Short-billed Gull.

It's a great set, Tim. I'm no help with gull ID, though.
