Seagulls

 
 
 

i love watching seagulls on the beach. I like to see them fishing, but i like them best when they are gathered in flocks on the sand near the surf. They tend to all turn in the same direction; maybe this has to do with the wind. And there are usually 2 or 3 different kinds in the same flock. the ones with the black heads got the nickname of "Dudes" because of the way their head feathers were swept back into a point behind. The way they walked around like they were profiling just added to the effect.
The gulls would just move off a little bit as we walked past. They did not want to get too close to us and get contaminated, but they were not afraid either.
