Splash! All animals groom themselves, and so do seagulls. I somehow always assumed that the daily hunt for fish provided enough water (and salt) to keep my body clean, but this seagull was bathing in a small creek by the breakwater. Sure! Ducks, geese, and other birds do it too, so why not seagulls? Another lesson learned…
… when the gulls cry. Impressive animals and nasty predators, with beaks that would require a gun license, but I like them. They don’t give each other any favors, but they often hunt in packs. If you look at the rings around their eyes, you can see a glimpse into the past and a little bit of a dinosaur, I think.
