#LaughingGulls

Beachside Siesta

Most of the laughing gulls (Leucophaeus atricilla) in this group seem to be napping while standing in the low surf. There are a couple nearest the shore that appear to be alert.

Hmmm … I wonder why many birds stick their beaks under a wing while sleeping. Maybe it feels cold … it is an extremity. Maybe they do that like we might cover our hands under our arms in the cold. I'll have to look that up.

"The Laughing Gull is perfectly named; its continuous, raucous "ha-ha-ha" calls are a part of the summer soundtrack along Gulf and Atlantic Coast beaches. This medium-sized, black-hooded gull favors the ocean shore and is a common sight there during the summer, alongside other coastal bird species such as the Royal Tern and Piping Plover. It is less common along inland waterways." - abcbirds.org

The Laughing Gull who got the piece of food and was determined to eat it, too. His fellow food gatherers were also interested in his prize. #laughinggull #penandink #mine #beachmemories

In 2016, my family traveled to Jamaica so my parents could renew their vows. A local artist, Radcliffe, carved and painted these beautiful people.

Two Laughing Gulls hanging out together by the Big Lake at City Park in New Orleans, LA. Laughing Gulls were one of two Bird Lifers that I saw and photographed during my visit here at the City Park in New Orleans, LA on March 29, 2022! Amazing how I can find and photograph some Bird Lifers when I travel out of my region. So glad I made the special trip out during my week in New Orleans, LA to see these Bird Lifers! Have a Blessed Sunday and start to the new week, Everyone! 🕊❤🕊📷 #neworleans #Louisiana #iheartcitypark #neworleanscitypark @neworleanscitypark #visitneworleans @visitneworleans #neworleansexplores @neworleans.explores #Nola #visitnola @visit.nola #laughinggull #bestbirdshots #best_birds_of_world #planetbirds #birds_adored #bird_brilliance #bird_shutterbug @bird_shutterbug #birds_perfection #photofeaturebirds @photofeaturebirds #wsshofficial @world.snapshot.hub #women_wildlife_photography @women_wildlife_photography #women_photographyworldwide @women_photographyworldwide #raw_birds #raw_wildlife #raw_travelblog #raw_allnature #raw_vip_gold #bestoftheusa_birds #yes_busa #tuttlecameras @tuttlecameras #nikonnofilter #nikonlove @nikonusa (at New Orleans City Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb5CuNbL5V0/?utm_medium=tumblr

I miss these days with niece. We would go get pizza afterwards. I'm not sure these were her favorite of days and yet she would go out there with me, let me take my photos and then get her food. I missed the flowers by a few days this season and I'm a little sad.
