Bird Portraits - Post Yours!

A young gull, not far from adulthood. I think it's a herring gull (and not a lesser black-backed gull). Substantial crop.

It’s “just” a gull, but it’s a great portrait! Doesn’t seem like a substantial crop.

That's a pretty dove.
Does it actually laugh? Like some gulls laugh?

It's pigeon/dove-like but definitely with a twist. Thanks!

North Beach @ Ft. De Soto re-opened so I was able to get a few shots of the reddish egret pair that always seems to be there.
