These are a couple pics a buddy took this spring....

And some watertypes....

Anyone know what kind of gull this is?

"shooting a Nikon D90 and the lens for the grouse shots was a Nikon 70-300VR" not sure on the waterfowl what lens?

The seagull is actually a Common Tern, they are fun to watch when they are feeding how they dive striaght into the water. Here is one i got the other day

Franklins Gull. Looks like those shots are from Montana. Certainly not a Tern. The Tern in the bottom pic looks like a Caspian. About twice the size of a Common give er take.

You'd be correct. A very cool looking gull imo.

Yeah...that is a very cool looking gull.... I wonder what the hell the are eating in the flood waters of eastern MT?

Grasshoppers and other bugs bring em in during the summers in E Montana. Population is not what it used to be...like many other critters.

The one in flight is pretty dang cool.

I'm not a bird hunter, so is this a Blue Grouse ?

Without a doubt.

Awesome shots.

Good stuff!

The sharp-tail in flight (image #2) is especially nice.

Who's your picture-taking buddy?
