Ring Billed Gull

Dauphin Island Alabama

This old boy was the proprietor of the pier, flying from one piling to the other, looking for a hand out. He has his other leg hidden up under his wing keeping it warm.

And I suppose you followed him from piling to piling looking for shot, and got it. Great shot!

Of course he's not going to stick to the rule & pay the money :>)) Nice sleepy looking gull, Breland

If it gets really cold...like it is up here right now, I bet he'd stuff that other leg under a wing too!

Maybe he didn't have $5.00? Fun shot.
