Walking on a Rainy Day VII

When I bought my new, small Canon T7i, which replaced my 12-year old SONY camera which I had used for so many pictures on this blog, I also bought a telephoto lens.  It is a 55-250mm lens, but since it has a smaller sensor, there is a multiplying factor of the focal length.  So that lens is the equivalent of an 88-400mm lens.  400mm is a pretty long lens - look how close it got me to this seagull.  But "seagull" is not an accurate description of this bird.  I thought it was a Herring gull, but it doesn't have a gray back, and it doesn't have a yellow eye.  So my Peterson field guide says this is, strangely enough, a Greater Black-Backed gull, because of the black back, and because of the flesh-colored legs!  Aren't you glad you stop by here every day to learn more about the world?   :-)
