12/7 - Windsor Landfill (Iceland Gull)

I spent a couple hours midday at the Windsor-Bloomfield Landfill; several other birders were there. Nothing much to report. About 1500-2000 large gulls, highlights being 2 Iceland Gulls (adult with one leg, and a first-winter not seen by me).

Photographs

After years of digiscoping I purchased a dSLR, the Canon 7D, in July 2011 along with the 400mm f5.6 prime lens. I upgraded to the 7D MarkII in September of 2016.
All of my shots on this website are taken with either the Canon 7D, 7D MkII or digiscoped with a Canon Powershot unless otherwise noted.
ALL PHOTOS are Copyright Nick Bonomo 2008-2018 unless otherwise noted.

Post-processing, when performed, is limited to minor exposure adjustments and sharpening. I sometimes do not have enough free time for this step and will post photos as-is. On several occasions I will not alter a photo if I feel that the change does not make the bird appear as it did in the field, for identification purposes. I currently shoot in jpeg only.
