WHAT THE.....????????

Fort Worth, TX

Two days ago it hit 84 degrees fahrenheit, yesterday 44 and today, the warmest it got was 34. And, we got ICE!!! This gull was screeching on top of the lampost by the lake screaming like "WHAT THE???" Roads are too warm to be anything but wet but I got a lot of cool icy shots....will post some of them in a different gallery.

Great capture! Boy the extreme temp sling must be incredibly hard on the wildlife...and people. v

Great capture! Gulls in ice, not something you see everyday. Wonder if he was howling because his feet were stuck?

At least he didn't stick his tongue to the light post!

He's singin' in the rain. Well, maybe sleet.

I do believe he is saying "Well at least I'm not in Alberta where it's -35c".

Oh, my vote for a seagull, nice singing :)

Can you imagine? Today a freezing air came over Poland, right now it's -0,4F outside my window, during a day it was 6F.
One big BRRRRR

Great catch - I'm not surprised he was confused.

The yodeling seagull wondering if it got lost in flight and ended up in Alaska.
