Took this shot this morning down at the Detroit River. There is a protected cove here with a boat ramp and small park. I frequent this place as there is a lot of Seagulls, Ducks and Geese are often here. This morning I drove right down to edge of water as there was a flock of these Seagulls out on ice. These two flew over to where I was parked and took a bunch of shots from front seat of my vehicle. I am sure they were not interested in me but in what food I might throw them. There is a lot of people who do come here for lunch and these guys know this as there will be scraps of food for them...but alas they did not get any food from me...just their picture taken :))

You never know, Gerry, that one on the right is looking right at you, so he might be interested in you....aren't gulls flesh eaters? LOL. And ...if there are no perks for posing for you, I would think it would be hard to get them to pose again. Nice picture. I like the slant to the shot.

I'll pass on lunch, they taste to fishy. They certainly appear to be dressed for dinner, tails and all. Well done, Gerry.

Gotta go, there's a katydid on my hibiscus.

I just hate dirty cutlery !! A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss ... My gallery is here.
