Gulls Eating "Natural" Food

While at the shore last weekend, I observed these gulls foraging for food from the ocean. I almost didn’t realize they could find food in the ocean. Most times they seem beg or steal from people. They can be very bold thieves.

These are Laughing Gulls. If you’ve ever heard them, you would know why. They are easily identifiable by their black heads. In the fall they heads turn white. I think they migrate south for the winter. I noticed that some of them are starting to turn color. I saw a few with gray heads.

I consider that a sad sign. The summer’s almost over. Sigh.
