Gulls. Just gulls. Oh, and a flock of mallards. On that windy afternoon.

| A youngster, with patterned wings and a dark bill. |

| Circling. Quadra Island lighthouse in the background. |
 |
| Another youngster. |
 |
| And the mallards. Because I took one step too many in their direction. |
The gulls were not so shy. I had a bag of peanuts to share, and they hung around until I put the empty bag back in my pocket. Gulls never miss a free handout!
A Skywatch post.

El viento era fuerte; así les gusta a las gaviotas. Estas, las capturé en el aire. Y una bandada de patos ánades, también.
Fotos: Gaviotas; la primera y la tercera son jóvenes.
Y en la última foto se ven los patos, cuando me había acercado tantito más de lo que preferían.
A las gaviotas mi presencia no les preocupaba; tenía una bolsita de cacahuates para compartir con ellas, y me rodearon hasta que guardé la bolsa, ya vacía. ¡Las gaviotas nunca se pierden algún comestible gratis!

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
