Greetings,

I just returned from a family gathering near Tofino. I managed to get a few
short outdoor excursions in. Surprising little about.

Big storms at the end of last week had uprooted a lot of kelp and benthic
invertebrates. The result was a feast for the gulls in many locations. I
snapped 200+ gull photos, one of which was of a juvenile SABINE'S GULL which
was sitting on the beach. The photo can be viewed from the image gallery at
www.birdinfo.com/imagegallery.html

Later this month I'll post some Mew Gull shots from the area - lots of
plumages and angles.

Cheers,
