Day 57

You will notice throughout the year that I love to try to photograph birds, I fancy myself a bit of a birdwatcher, I love to just sit and watch their behavior, the things you usually don't see, how they land, or take flight, how they gather food, all kinds of little things. Today I watched a small flock of gulls, they were trying to stay warm in the cold breeze. As I watched them, at first it looked like each bird was alone, but after a bit you could see they were actually all working together. As the group huddled together, each bird would take a turn to lift it's head and look around to make sure all was ok, that no danger was approaching. Birds would come and go but the same pattern followed, I was fascinated watching them, they instictively knew to do this, to take care of others so that others would take care of them.
