Day 258

We live in an area with a lot of lakes so as a result we get a lot of seagulls flying around, they're every where, hanging in the parking lots looking for fallen food, hanging at the parks or along the shore, still looking for free food, we kind of call them flying rats, the birds will fly right up and steal your lunch. So while we were sitting in my car eating lunch the birds came looking, so we tossed them bits of pizza crust and watched them all try to get their fill. I decided to take a couple pics for something to do and I am always surprised at how delicate their feathers are, and how they all fit together so perfectly, you can't even tell they're feathers. This ring-billed gull was the one making the most noise, so I tried to toss it some crust, he got some but was yelling so much the others ended up stealing most of the pieces.
