And I hear alot of sqawking going on to the right of me.

This black bird (crow?) is yelling at all the white/grey ones (seagulls?)

Basically, it's telling all the other birds "Get back! It's mine!"

Anyone want to take a guess what this bird is claiming?

I see this a lot in Florida on the beaches there. Those birds are not afraid of humans. Some are quite gutsy around us humans too.

Shampoo sounds like an unfortunate name for a hair product.
You're a ghost driving a meat-coated skeleton made from stardust, riding a rock, hurtling through space. Fear Nothing!

Probably food. Looks like a bag of chips maybe.

Sorry for the delay in response. (work and computer troubles)

Anyways, this crazy bird dives into the bag and decides it wants to make a call....

No, the phone belonged to a lady sitting next to us. I stopped shooting as soon as I realized what this bird was flying off with. It got the cellphone bag about 5 feet away from the bag before I ran to it, shooing it away and made him drop.

Let's just say when the lady returned from the water, I showed her the sequence of photos (there were more than posted) and she was shocked. Was a neat moment.

Next time a kid who is playing next to someone's stuff and says a bird stole whatever item, may want to think twice...
