Takeout

I went Christmas shopping with my mom today in a nearby town. As soon as we pulled into a Walmart parking lot, I saw gulls. I started to just go on into the store, but the temptation was too great! I stood in the middle of the parking lot snapping pics of the gulls. I didn't even look around to see if anyone was watching! :0)

I saw this Ring-billed Gull swoop down and pick up some food. When I got it on the computer, I got a really good laugh! The gull has a fried chicken strip. I'm guessing it's from a McDonald's. LOL!

Ring-billed gulls are Tennessee's most common wintering bird. They arrive in late September and depart in early May.

Thank your for your kind comments and faves on my recent pics!!! I can't believe my project is coming to the end soon. This year has flown by! :0)

Wow . . what a capture! Love the clarity of the wing tips and tail feathers. Just goes to show that you are a bona fide 365er . . you carry your camera at all times! :)

[Pam Hawkes]

Great in flight capture.

[Rick Schies]

The shot is awesome, very clear. Nice job.

[Paula]

Birds cannot live on chicken fingers alone! What gorgeous focus and smooth colours!

[Rach_who]

This sort of gives a new meaning to fast food. You have done well to snap this great shot as gulls usually fly pretty swiftly especially if they think there are other gulls about to pinch their snack.

[Anne ❀]

and fries with that?! great action shot, love the lighting on the wings

[Paul Myers]

Nice capture. You sometimes wonder why they'd ever leave with all of that "natural" food around for them.

[Mary]

Isn't that cannibalism! Funny birds!! Awesome capture.

[Kate Klinck]

[Denise]

[Geertje K.]

Amazing detail! Wow, you know how to focus on a moving subject so well!

[Trina P Holub]

Great panning for this fabulous action shot! It's very nearly cannibalism for a bird to eat chicken , isn't it?

[cglist]

Oh, wow - excellent capture!

[Jennifer C]

[Karen Sylvia]

Well done!

[richard saffold]

gulls have no taste.

[Shirley Banford]

Any day I can see a seagull is a good day for me. I love their shapes against the sky. Nice catch.

[Roberta Clark Chalmers]

Excellent shot - love the story. I didn't know there were gulls in TN. I keep learning new things about this world through this project.

[Anita Hoyle]

Love the pic and the info. Does this mean I shall soon be losing a friend soon? I really hope not!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

[Denise Breimeir]

What a cool capture! This gull was thinkin' McDonald's!

[Paula Cook-Farkas]

That is a bit cannibalistic, but I guess a bird's gotta eat.
