On February 19, 2009, as I was coming out of a store, when my eyes were drawn to a magnificent large white bird with black wing tips flying approximately 20 feet up and maybe 30 feet away from me with the sun behind it. I grabbed my Canon Rebel camera and caught this shot of this, what I think, is an unusual sighting of this bird. The sky was mostly clear and blue. But there was just something unusual that filled me with awe of its beauty.
I compared this photo to other photos of seagulls. The wing tips are the same but the feet show in all the pictures I saw. But none of their feet were showing. Maybe it’s from the sun coming from behind? I don’t know what there was about this bird but it had a luminous white tail from the sun shining behind it. If you look closely. you can see the shape of the head, and some of the individual wing and tail feathers. I was in awe of its beauty as it flew on over me.

Beth, I looked up kites, which is a variety of white birds. There was one who flew with his feet tucked up which might have been what it was. Gulls hang their feet down while flying sometimes.

There are so many kinds of birds and variations on each one. I have an app on my phone named Birdnet. You can record a bird’s song and it will tell you what bird it is or what bird the recording is of, and show a picture of the bird. It’s really fun to learn their calls. I have hawks in the valley below my condo and recorded one call, it was a red tailed hawk. There are so many different one but if you start learning one at a time, you can learn who makes what call. Have fun.

How lovely! Kestrels look kind of like smaller hawks. I heard a lark once. It was beautiful.
