A pair I shot in Barrow over 5 days.  Shot this at 12:17 AM at night when they were nesting and feeling sleepy.  I was waist deep in a pond with my friend Tom and we stayed up all night with these gulls, spectacled, king, and stellar's eiders, red-throat and pacific loons, sabines gulls, brant, long-tail, etc.  I'll never forget that night!

Gorgeous- well work a wade in the pond, I'd say. Lovely light and such a peaceful mood. Sounds like you had a wonderful evening.

You were rewarded for your late night work wading in the pond. Love the quality of light and the low angle. This is very nice!
