Gulls, both the ring-billed variety common to these parts and the slightly rarer herring species, have been scarcer on the Lake Superior shore this season than expected. I was happy to see this one, for unlike most people hereabouts, I think gulls are graceful fliers as well as appealingly snow-white against the sky. They photograph well, and that should be good enough for anybody.
