“I saw a seagull hanging out by a lake, but I said “Don’t worry Dude. I won’t say anything.””
I think this is a ring-billed gull. I see more of them in the late fall, and they are less afraid than the gulls I usually see in the summer. This one didn't fly away while I was taking pictures. He was also fearless about the cold waves crashing toward him from the lake.
