It doesn't take long at times on a visit to the coast to find out how friendly the locals are. While I was watching a heron in Bandon, Oregon, this herring gull flew between the heron and me just a few feet away. He showed me his best poses for a very long time and I with camera in hand took him up on his offer. #oregoncoast #bestoforegoncoast #traveloregon #exploregon #oregonexplored #youroregon #exploreoregon #your_best_birds #anythingfeathered #feather_perfection #ig_birdwatchers #nuts_about_birds #kings_birds #bestbirdshots #ig_discover_birdslife #eye_spy_birds #bird_brilliance #planetbirds #igbirds #birdsofinstagram #audubonsociety #naturesbestphotomagazine #pocket_birds #portlandia #pdx #1859oregon #coastexplorer #naturaloregon #oregoncoastcollective #outinoregon
