At golden hour, a Bonaparte’s Gull leans into a drop, scanning the pond below, wings steady as it locks onto something worth chasing.

Rob's @robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying, birds with wings open on the Floor/Water but not flying, the Alt theme is #Black&White, birds with black & white feathers.

July has been very quiet, bird-wise, but on a rainy Sunday this cracking bird cheered me up. Missed it twice last year at Frampton - Bonaparte’s Gull finally in the bag. #lovegulls #birds #kentbirding #bonapartesgull

One of the many Bonaparte’s Gulls seen from Jones Beach on Long Island. Incredible seeing how they kept diving into the water like the Northern Gannets foraging for food. #bonapartesgull #gulls #birds #birdwatching #wildlife

A Bonaparte’s Gull glides ahead of the flock, its wings cutting through soft light. The background blurs into a pattern of movement, the moment balanced between flight and stillness.

I know people won't give a fig about this Bonaparte's Gull on South Shore Beach in Little Compton but, for me, it is a breeding plumage lifer (BPL) and I'm thrilled. #bonapartesgull #bird #birdphotography

One of the things I look forward to in the fall/winter birding is spending more time looking at various gulls, seeing if I can find something uncommon for the area. 🪶
A recent example: a group of Bonaparte's Gulls, with a lone Ring-billed Gull for scale. They sure are small!

Bonaparte’s gull at the Napa Marsh! These small gulls are named after Napoleon’s cousin Charles Lucien Bonaparte for his contributions to American ornithology.

I don't see Bonaparte's Gulls in this plumage very often at all. I was on a monitoring shift for the Least Terns last year and turned around, and whoa. Look at that lovely plumage!

A few #birding highlights from the Christmas period across the Irish Sea. #BonapartesGull at #Ballygalley, #DoubleCrestedCormorant at #DoonLough, #GreenWingedTeal at #Ballintemple and one of two #RingNeckedDuck (honest) on #UpperLoughErne. Always a great trip out west.
