Birds: Pelicans and gulls (5/17)

This western gull (Larus occidentalis) is standing in front of a rock on a coastal cliff with the blue ocean visibile blurred in the background. Getting the proper exposure to bring out the detail in their white feathers was non-trivial! Note: a small piece of debris on the bird's feathers was digitally removed; I can provide an unedited version of the image if needed/desired.
