River Gulls?

A seagull swims in the green Niagara River near Niagara Falls. My son was surprised to see it swimming in the water like a duck.

He thinks you have a treat

[Sue Wilde]

I love that water

[Margaret Obey]

The gull is great, but for me the water makes the shot. He looks like he's sitting in a dip and pushing the water along with his chest.

gorgeous color in the water.

[Dione Giorgio]

Fabulous capture.

[Joan Robillard]

I swear some day someone will post a picture of one in the dessert. They adapt to where they get blown.

[Kathryn 🐎]

Lovely colours and reflections.

[Cheri]

They come as far inland as western NC too.

@digitalrn I would have given him one, if I could have gotten closer to him.
@swilde @tracie8266 It's green because of the minerals the falls dissolves from the rocks.
@ceilidh This river moves at a very swift pace, nearly 40 miles per hour, but he was in a pool area off to the side.
@sangwann @bristolrose Thanks!
@joansmor Hahaha! Wouldn't surprise me a bit.
@linc We used to get them in southern IL in the fall when they migrated south from Lake Michigan. I was rather shocked the first time I saw them! LOL!
@annika82 Thanks!

Does seem odd to see one swimming in a river--great find!
