Quoting:...I gotta ask...how many images did you take?

I took 91 pictures total, including about ten of gulls.

Resin, I just assumed the gull was a Herring Gull, because they account for about 99% of the large gulls around hear. Glaucous-winged Gulls are the other 1%. However, the smaller Mew Gulls are the most common, in this area.

When the Eagle decided it had put up with enough of me, it flew up to this nearby dead tree. There were at least six juvenile and two adult Bald Eagles around this small road side lake, feeding on late run salmon. There is a paved road side pull off next to the lake. The Eagles are accustomed to seeing people all day long.
