Herring Gull: York County, Maine, USA, November 2026 — We stopped at a beach on the way back from the cliff path where we saw the Harlequins and Scoters, to see if I could find any Long-tailed Ducks—which had been reported from there in the past few days. No Long-tails, but this Herring Gull was there showing off his prize, a crab of some kind. Sony a7CR with the FE 100-400 f5.6-f8 OSS zoom at 400mm. Cropped to about 650mm effective field of view.
