Said the wrong thing to an avid birder, did you? By the same token, starfish are actually sea stars....remember that one, too. No matter any of it, this is a terrific picture. I'd like a close-up abstract of just that wonderful spread-out (backlit) tail with a bit of wing, please.
seriously? I grew up in cali, we always called them seagulls (they're actually kind of nasty) and i'm pretty sure that no one will be able to teach this old dog a new trick, so to speak. that said, i just LOVE this photo of the gulls you took! PopPage baby.
Spotted you on the Popular Page and knew right away it was Hipstamaic. So beautiful! By the way, I am certain I have taken pictures over here! I have that factory in the background behind some boats. Now I am going to have to hunt down the shot.
