Adult Laughing Gull (Winter Plumage)

Found this guy at Blind Pass with one Mr. Mossberg last year.
I bored him so much he just yawned a few times.
(The Gull..... Not Sandy, I think ?)
Mr. Gull gave me a chance to work with my extension tube & some fill flash to show his throat.

Captiva Island, FL Blind Pass Feburary 21 2004
Canon 1D/Canon 500 4.5>1/160 @f16 +1/3 ISO 200 Flash -1 1/3.

Any comments or repost are welcomed.
Thanks for looking.

Michael W.

Great use of flash and love his open mouth. Looks like a laughing gull to me?

Pretty cool closeup. Couldn't tell you about the species.
4 down, 2 to go.

My guess to, that its a juvenile laughing gull, or a yawning gull. :lol:

Nice shot and what a big mouth. It is an adult laughing gull in winter plumage.
