Catch and Release

Ring-billed Gull
Larus delawarensis

Back from NC, where the wildlife photography was a little disappointing. Gulls, sporadic terns, few shorebirds and fewer butterflies/dragonflies. Oh well - that just meant more time to relax on the beach.

Excellent shot, although I'm thinking your title's a bit misleading. Release is probably the furthest thing from that young gull's mind.
