What Was It?


 


When I saw two Ring-billed gulls calling in unison my first thought was, that they were in the process of courtship, which usually begins in April and lasts untill September.  

But as I watched them longer, I began to think that the gulls were so noisy because they were trying to scare away the potential predators, perhaps their chicks were ready to leave the nest. 

I have never observed Ring-billed gulls with such unusual behavior before, so I leave two possibilities.















Generally, life is good.

  1. Las gaviotas son unos pájaros muy ruidosos. No obstante algo raro sucedería. Las fotos son preciosas con unos excelentes reflejos.
