Gulls Landing Belfair State Park 2-9-2023

Very quiet time during our visit. Tide was going out-had to take my tripod stool out about 75 yards to improve the ever-increasing distance to the birds. Too soft to go out much further-mud bottom.
A few ducks and gulls. The ones evident were bathing in the fresh stream of the Big Mission Creek. All shots taken at 150+ yards.
Fun to watch these gulls and their never-ending antics. They appear to have some funky-looking legs. Young gulls I believe although I am unsure of the variety.
Z9, 500pF attached, DX Crop used and some cropping and pp did occur.
Download and enjoy!

Beautiful shots of (I'm going out on a limb here) Glaucous-winged Gulls
Thanx! Or perhaps Western Gulls. Second Winter I think. The legs look crinkled.
