Seagull

In the nineteenth century seagulls were almost hunted to extinction because their feathers were used in women's hats. Today these birds are the bane of our citys waterfront, In August, Toronto Water launched a public education campaign, using signs and print ads with one simple message: "Stop feeding the birds!"

Thanks Aurelie ... I was actually quite a ways back shooting a lady feeding the birds - just got lucky with this one where I zoomed in & the bird was perfectly focused - serendipity some call it :) @mijade
