Took a long time to get these beautiful Ring-billed Gulls into makeup; glad these recent shots came out so nice!










What happens when the “Auto” picture adjustment (color/lighting) in Adobe Lightroom goes horribly wrong:

All shots South Pier, Erie County, PA.
[BirdingPI.com ornithology dept. ‘science note:’ these pictures taken on a very hot/humid day; bill was open/parted not for vocalization, but heat regulation.]
[Editor’s note to staff: please re-order “Gull orange” eyeliner using the Amazon account.]
This staff members wife uses that shade frequently. She didn’t know it is a seagull shade!
