Resting on the ice

















It can sometimes be a harsh existence for wildlife along the shores of Lake Superior in the winter.  That being said, this gull didn't seem to mind sitting on the ice floating in the Grand Marais harbor yesterday.  It was a cold day.  The temperature barely got above zero and it was pretty windy for most of the day.  You would think that sitting on a piece of ice would not be that comfortable, but it didn't seem to bother this gull.  There were actually quite a few gulls hanging out on the ice yesterday.  I tried photographing a larger part of the group that was sitting on the ice, but my favorite shot by far was this image where I isolated one gull that was apart from the rest of the group.
