The end of July. Several Laughing Gulls decided to visit Bear River MBR. I have never seen these birds before and never heard their laugh-like calls.
While photographing Laughing Gulls (breeding adult has a black head) I was listening to a laugh that was echoing across the river. It was a continuous, raucous "ha-ha-haah-haah-ha-ha" call that resembled of human laughter.
The echo intensified the effect of this laughter, and at some point it felt that some ominous mythical creature was laughing eerily at me.
Generally, life is good!
Parece querer darle una sorpresa, a la hembra que hay ya metida en el agua. Son dos bellas fotografías.

wow beautiful.
ReplyDeleteStrangely i find mallards have a laughing sound, at least around here. and I'm 98% sure it is them and not the old ravens that sit on my fence and dare me to feed them.
На первом снимке стоящая чайка смеется,а может быть только улыбается) прекрасные мгновения.
ReplyDeleteNo puedo oirlos pero si ver la belleza, en sus plumas, que bonitos.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo
Bellas gaviotas Kaya, dos estupendas capturas.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
In the first photo, it looks like they fought for territory.
ReplyDeletePor donde yo vivo también hay bandadas de gaviotas reidoras. Durante el día van a los vertederos para alinentarse y por la tarde vuelven a las lagunas cercanas para pasar la noche.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo y cuidate.
In the first picture, is it a Forster's tern, Sterna forsteri, in front of the laughing gull ? 🤔
ReplyDeleteCao, it's certainly a tern :)
