Flock of Seagulls

And I ran, ran so far away. But we couldn't escape the attack of the gulls.

This was the same place as the Least Sandpiper and the Semipalmated Plover. These gulls (as far as I could tell Ring-billed and Lesser Black-backed) would sit over on the far shore. Then about every 30 minutes or so, they would lift off en masse and swirl around the pond a couple of times and return to the far shore.

Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.

Liftoff

When that movie came out, I almost got up and walked out. So phony, no bird or group of birds is evil like he tried to make them out to be. 100,000 years of humans killing everything in sight has fixed that problem. They're all afraid of us now.

Nice shots though. Interesting how several species can get along like that.

Thanks, Mitch. But are they all afraid of us now?? I question whether Black Jack Grackle is afraid of us!

Yes for a big puddle it sure attracts the gulls and other migrating shore birds.
