High and Dry

This seagull is drying off its belly after bathing in the puddle.
What a fabulous shot - love the reflection - took me a second on that leg - and the detail of the water dripping is wonderful. Wonderful lighting - so nice and even.

You probably caught an amazing natural phenomenon in this photo. Gulls have a gland that allows them to drink salt water, separate the salt and excrete it from their beak in drops of very salty water. A pretty and informative nature photo.

Love this one. Even more impressive when viewed large

@rvwalker Thanks for that bit of information. I did not know about that and I have lived near Long Island Sound all of my life.

How interesting! I didn't know that about gulls either. Lovely shot! The details - including that droplet! - are greast!
