Gull and Tern Photos

Laridae Family

One reason I'm a bird photographer, and not just a birder...at least if you get a photo, you have the opportunity to better ID things later! That's the case for me sometimes with Gulls. Plumage and structural differences are seemingly pretty small between many species.
