Joining the Crowd
















I have never seen so many gulls at Bear river.

They were noisy and stayed very close to each other.


From time to time some gulls joined this big group. They did it in a very bold 

way trying to get in the middle of the group.

There wasn't any consideration how they would land.  

Would they be accepted by 

other gulls?  The gulls just did it.

I guess these are Franklin's gulls but I am not sure.

  1. Parece que se han concentrado en este lugar. Tan sólo he visto algo parecido, cuando sobrevolaban alrededor del barco de unos pescadores, ellos les echaban los pescados sobrantes.

  4. Preciosas fotos, casi se escuchan los gritos de las gaviotas. Me gusta especialmente la primera fotografía en la que una de las gaviotas parece un político dirigiéndose a sus votantes en campaña electoral.
    Un abrazo y bienvenida.

  7. I am not a fan of gulls .... they are far too noisy for me and they have a habit of diving at anyone who they think is encroaching on their territory during nesting season. My thoughts go to the Alfred Hitchcock film, "The Birds," whenever I see two or more of them together ....

    Nice series of photographs, Kaya ....

  9. You have correctly identified them as Franklin’s Gulls, Kaya, and they are staging for migration. Soon they will be leaving for South America and you won’t be seeing them again until next spring.

  13. Es difícil enfocar con tanto movimiento, tu lo has conseguido. La gaviota, en el aire, mas que amerizar parece que está ejerciendo de director de orquesta del resto.
    Un abrazo.
