I put four photos on the web:

Two are pictures of the Bohemian Waxwing that was hanging out with Cedar Waxwings at Mud
Bay on Christmas Eve day.

The other two photos were taken during my brief attempt at sorting out adult gull identification
at Perry Creek mouth, Mud Bay, Thurston County, Washington. I will probably work on
creating hyperlinks for these photos so that each one can be viewed at a larger size on the
screen. As it is, I don't think the gull's pale eyes can be seen. I am calling it a Herring
Gull but I am open to correction, if the photos are good enough to allow independent evaluation.
I think the bill is too large and heavy for it to be a pale-eyed Thayer's Gull.

Hope to hear from anybody who cares to take a look.
