yeah, for sure! and he can land on the water so walking isn't much of an issue i guess.

Really nice photos. I especially like the 2 images of the Black-Headed Gull. That second photo of the Black-Headed Gull looking directly at you is such a great shot.

Re: your Northern Shoveler photo, I had something similar happen a few weeks ago with a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. The kinglet landed on a branch about 3 metres from me. I took a few images and every single one was either blurred out or the kinglet had turned away from me so I was not able to capture their ruby-crown on their head. Haha, perhaps I'll have better luck next time.

The misfires are so relatable. They’re always more fun in good company.

Whiskered Tern—first I’m hearing of this bird’s existence.

The Black-headed Tern is an exquisite bird, but we gotta change that name. Not accurate 😂

You mean the Gull? For sure, their heads are definitely brown. As for the Whiskered Tern - yeah, I don't often get to see them, they look pretty similar to the Common Tern. Funny that you mentioned it, the Black-Headed Tern (Chlidonias niger) is closely related to the Whiskered Tern!

Yes lol. I meant the gull. When I saw my first one last month I thought whoever named it must not have seen it very nearby
