An adult Herring Gull seems to be shepherding this juvenile (first year of a four year maturation) in a quest for edibles over Lake Champlain. They are common here in the open-water seasons, perhaps not so much so as the ubiquitous Ring-billed Gull. Gulls fly beautifully, with purpose and verve, and especially when the wind is up expressing the freedom of flight in a way that one imagines brings them joy.
Processed in LR, PS with a touch of Topaz and home made texture.
