American herring gull is a large gull that breeds in North America. Adults are white with gray back and wings, black wingtips with white spots, and pink legs. Immature birds are gray-brown and are darker and more uniform than European herring gulls, with a darker tail. It occurs in a variety of habitats including coasts, lakes, rivers and garbage dumps. Its broad diet includes invertebrates, fish, and many other items. It usually nests near water, laying around three eggs in a scrape on the ground.
I am in love with the Smithsonian Institution. This shot was taken outside of the Museum of American History in Washington DC. Their grounds are beautiful, their structures are grand, and they never charge a fee - they do ask for donations but there is not an admission charge to enter the museums.
I’m excited to share the news that my work has been featured in a short series for @Smithsonian Earth! You can see my interview and my photo, Atlantic Puffin & Wild Iris, on “The Wildest Shot: Inside Nature’s Best Photography” here: bit.ly/29DGHLS.
Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Many of the skeletons in the Bone Hall have been on view since 1881—first in what is now known as the Arts and Industries Building, and since the 1960s in their current form. The skeletons represent an unparalleled study collection of every major group of vertebrate animals. (3/27/2022)

Artist Rose B. Simpson
Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. Simpson created the Pod series while at the Rhode Island School of Design working on her master's degree. She built each piece in one studio session. Each figure is an imperfect, fragile patchwork of components and influences as are human beings.
The actual sculpture is displayed nearby.
