Laughing Gulls, well, make me laugh (Dial-up beware)
These gulls were all over South Padre. They were very used to humans and one could get very close. If they thought you had food, they would get even closer.

Brrr. The water is cold.


A little too much shrimp cocktail this morning.


Put one foot in front of another.


I need to sit down.


Maybe if I dip my head I'll feel better.


Shake off last night...c'mon on.


Hey, what's this?


A little brunch...yes, a little on the stomach will make me feel better.


Hey, are you making fun of me?


Do I offend?


Too funny, really. :rofl:

6. Thanks CaliforniaPeggy
I was using my new lens with my tripod set very low to the gound. I was probably about 15-20 feet away.

2. Wonderful photos, as usual!
Laughing gulls are fun, though they seem "mini" to me, after the gulls I'm used to up north.

Here is one I like from Bird Island Basin on South Padre Island:

I took this one a few weeks ago. It really needs a silly caption but I can't think of one.
