Attached are my photos from today. Lighting was very tricky, because not only was the sky very overcast, but the air was dense with cool moisture, and so conditions were tough... Enjoy the photos!

Nelson's Gull is a Glaucous Gull x Herring Gull hybrid. The Glaucous-winged Gull x Herring Gull hybrid still leads with the most votes for the gull in these photos. Tomorrow I'll hopefully get the details down about this bird!
