For as long as I have known what a seagull was I have wanted to get pictures of them. Today, I finally got that opportunity. Mom' & Dad let me walk around the Escanaba marina and harbor, and I found a spot where a guy in a car was feeding the seagulls, so there were about 20-30 of them gathered around. I got there right as he finished, and he just sat there in his car watching them. They had started to fly off one by one, so I walked over behind his car to take some pictures. The guy in the car eventually rolled down his window to ask if he was in my way, and I assured him he wasn't. By the time about half an hour had past I had well over 200 pictures of pure seagull goodness, so I hopped back in the car and rode home. This one is my favorite because of the clarity, the position of the birds wings, and the fact that it's feathers are just the least bit translucent.

Wow! This bird's wing span looks immense. You did a fine job of filling your frame so that one really doesn't know the size of the bird. I like the translucence of the wings. The sea gull can be very beautiful and you definitely caught that in this picture.
wow you went all the way home?
Total green monster jealousy right about now!
I must say I love that picture...BUT as for seagulls...hmmm- I always wonder how they end up in the places they do...Ah well- something else to ask God once I get to heaven- so many questions!!
