There were a number of seagulls sitting in the water and flying over the marsh this morning. This group were near where most of the cormorants perch to rest and dry their feathers. I haven't noticed as many seagulls around the marsh this summer, perhaps because the water level has been high, causing resting spots to be near or below the water's surface. I think these are all Herring Gulls, of different ages. Apparently it takes a couple of years or more before they look like the one on the left.
