Mew Gull

Gull BIF Shot

The Short-billed Gull (formally known as the Mew Gull) was the most numerous of the gulls seen in the Anchorage area. They are a bit smaller than the more familiar Ring-billed Gulls seen in the midwest.

I zoomed in on this photo so I could see the way you captured the clarity of this bird in flight.
