Maybe you shall at least get in a few more snaps of them. They make me happy, such lovely faces, and such grand insect eaters too.

Some are a light pearl grey like the American Herring Gull, which may appear blue. They often look powder blue in photos perhaps with reflected light off water. Your gull may have been a Black-tailed Gull.<br /><br />Thanks for the info John.<br /><br />Grace, I commented on your blog and I'm feeling fine now thanks.Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-81139552916052519102011-08-19T20:21:26.817+01:002011-08-19T20:21:26.817+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-76458559799005810892011-08-19T19:40:01.227+01:002011-08-19T19:40:01.227+01:00Beautiful photos, Phil.

They do look blueish but I think it's a reflection of some sort.<br />Wonder what you think. I tried googling blue gulls and got no information.<br />-- KKay L.
