Ring-billed Gulls On Ice
Some Ring-billed Gulls winter in Kentucky and these photos were taken at a lake not far from where I live. In the first shot, the gulls were resting on a section of ice in the middle of the lake. I was extremely lucky to get the photos I did. The gulls generally wouldn't fly close enough to make the shots worthwhile.

"resting on ice" - something we couldn't do! Fabulous photographs, the ones in flight especially Brian; well done!
really, really nice. the first shot w/ the one caught in flight and the one preferring to stay solo is beautiful. love the ripples in the water.
Gulls are such incredible flyers!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Fantastic captures of the bird in flight.
Brilliant flight shots Brian! It's quite a decent size gull by the look of it.
Great minds think alike. Is it gull day today??? Great shots, lovin those blue skies!!!
Makes my feet cold to see them standing on the ice. You got some great shots of them flying, easy to see the ring on the bill.
Wonderful images Brian.
Gulls are so difficult to identify at times with all the different plumage/age etc.
I am trying to learn it all though.
Lovely series of flight shots. Well done.
Beautiful captures of the gulls.
Great in-flight photos and I really like the look of all those gulls lined up on the ice.
Excellent series from start to finish!
Beautiful skies made a lovely background to capture them in flight.
Your flight shots are awesome!
These are great, beautiful flight shots and I love the top one!
Wonderful series, you have captured their beauty perfectly!
They are lovely to watch, aren't they?
Beautiful!
Isn't it great when they cooperate a bit :D
a little different from the others. They are so hard to ID. Great job.
great gull shots...
Marvelous flight shots, against that gorgeous blue sky!
Love that first shot of all the gulls with their reflections.
Love your thrilling flight shots!
More great shots Brian. I have a feeling floating ice is a wonderful convenience for gulls. I have often seen Bald eagles sit on the ice edge lounging rather than taking to a tree too.
Cheers sir!
Really lovely shots -- the in-flight gulls look great against that electric blue sky!
Perfect like sculptures!
