I really love split rail fences and when you add a little lichen and bird, they are a piece of art. This is a Ring-billed gull on Blackie Spit in Crescent Beach, a quaint little community that reminds me of a beach side town in California like S.L.O. Ringbills are one of the most common here in the winter only being beaten out by Glaucous-winged gulls.
