On Sunday afternoon, the kids and I went out to enjoy the surprise afternoon sun and also for me to polish of that list.
I was delighted to see that a few hundred gulls, mostly Mew Gulls, were hunting worms in the field and did not really seem to be bothered by noisy children. It was not long before I modified The List again and grabbed my camera.
This was a nice idea, but made an error (maybe) and should have focused on the gulls. But I might not have had enough depth of field to get the mountains sharp so it was one or the other.
There was also this guy who had some white in him but I think it's just a slightly leucistic Glaucous-winged Gull.
A little later as it started to get dark, about 200 swans, mostly Trumpeter, flew over and past the yard. A few Tundra Swans were making their higher pitched hoots too and added a new species to the yard.
The view right at dusk.
