THESE GULLS ARE INCREDIBLE AERIALISTS... THEY TURN, GLIDE, WITH VERY LITTLE
VISIBLE EFFORT.. IF WE COULD ONLY BUILD PLANES THAT WORKED AS WELL AS

EFFICIENT WING STRUCTURE... AMAZING, BUT TRUE...

Hi there - I found this page through a google search for gulls at Longview Lake. I live near by and have seen these birds while visiting the lake and wanted to find out more about them. Thanks for posting these great pictures. I have viewed some of your other pictures on this web site and they are wonderful also.
