[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello my friends, I just got back from my trip to Rocky Point in Mexico, it was wonderful, I had the opportunity to take pictures of many sea birds, I'm posting this picture today because this 2nd winter California Gull (Larus californicus)was the first bird to greet me, it was a great weekend and I'll share some of those shots with you.. Have a great day!


Fun fact:

This is the state bird of Utah, remembered for assisting Mormon settlers in dealing with a plague of Mormon crickets. A Seagull Monument in Salt Lake City commemorates this event, known as the "Miracle of the Gulls".
