was hoping to take some nice clean shots of some wildlife... these birds are crazy, I wonder if there's any radioactive stuff around 'em

this dude was yelling at people

I don't know what this guy was doing but he stood still for quite a while.... might have been hunting for worms :):

This is the first time I have seen a gull flying with his head sideways while spitting watter out of the bill:

...And this poor fella has myopia or some other eye defects that he can't see the fish from far away and has to fly pretty low :-P

Good stuff. The commentary wasn't bad either. First one is classic. What does the sign say about dogs? Maybe he is telling a Pooch to get out of Dodge.

Brilliant Captions! Your interpretations definitely added to the pictures. My favorite is the myopic seagull. Classic.

Great shots, great captions. The first one is hysterical, and the sideways spitting gull is just hilarious.

hahaha, I love this it cracks me up--It's not every day you can see mentally retarded birds so up close. A job well done!
