Gulls at Larimer Landfill, 28 Feb 2015

I spent an hour photographing gulls at the Larimer County landfill in north-central Colorado. The light conditions were difficult for photography (for me anyway) so I had to brighten these photos, which cause some to look a bit overexposed, and in some cases not only are the lights too bright, but the darks are too dark. Captions will clarify if necessary.

Overall, I tallied 1000+ Ring-billed Gulls, 20 American Herring Gulls, 12 California Gulls, 7 Lesser Black-backed Gulls and 4 Thayer's Gulls.
