I have been cataloging my digital photos and came across these. Why isn't this bird a Slaty-backed Gull? Note dark streak through eye.

Not the best of photos, I will admit. http://www.northern.edu/tallmand/dat/misc/blowupcopy.jpg http://www.northern.edu/tallmand/dat/misc/mysterygull3copy.jpg http://www.northern.edu/tallmand/dat/misc/mysterygull4copy.jpg dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman http://danerika.googlepages.com/home daner...@gmail.com ".... the best shod travel with wet feet" "Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ...."--Thoreau ------=_Part_80374_11831548.1174146273141 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline I have been cataloging my digital photos and came across these.
