Gulls and Terns

great black-backed gull: Larus marinus, Rideau River<br />
The two gulls take a drink of water in the company of a common goldeneye before roosting on the waters edge.<br />
The air temerature was -25 Celcius with a wind chill into the -30s, so there is some steam rising from the relatively warmer river waters.
