Sentinel and the Trio
This quartet—a great blue heron and three laughing gulls—was spotted lounging in a tidal pool along the beach at Gulfport, Mississippi, one quiet morning in November.

Splash of Life, A Gull Moment
I caught this laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) just as it lifted its head from beneath the water, flinging droplets into the air—each one suspended in a frozen moment of motion.
Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

Laughing Gulls Dancing
Five laughing gulls (Leucophaeus atricilla) dance across the open sky, weaving through the air in loose, unscripted arcs. One gull, slightly elevated above the rest, clutches a morsel of food. Just beneath, another tilts its head upward—hopeful, perhaps calculating the odds of interception.

Gulls Flying Away
This is a photograph of five laughing gulls (Leucophaeus atricilla) flying away through a blue sky. They appear loosely stacked from the bottom left to the upper right, like a diagonal trail of motion. It gives off a feeling—oh, I don’t know—maybe something like freedom or departure. Like they’re headed toward infinity. Or beyond. 😆

Gull on the Beach in Black and White
Here are three laughing gulls (Leucophaeus atricilla) on the beach in Gulfport, Mississippi.
You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.
Take a look:

Shore Birds
As I cut through the jungle foliage, a large leaf of an oil palm swept over my pith helmet. Ahead was a clearing, a beach occupied by hundreds if not thousands of shore birds lounging on sandbars of the shallow water.
Not really, though the part about the shore birds is true. This is a photo taken at Gulfport, Mississippi on the Gulf of Mexico.

Beachside Siesta
Most of the laughing gulls (Leucophaeus atricilla) in this group seem to be napping while standing in the low surf. There are a couple nearest the shore that appear to be alert.
Hmmm ... I wonder why many birds stick their beaks under a wing while sleeping. Maybe it feels cold ... it is an extremity. Maybe they do that like we might cover our hands under our arms in the cold. I'll have to look that up.
"The Laughing Gull is perfectly named; its continuous, raucous "ha-ha-ha" calls are a part of the summer soundtrack along Gulf and Atlantic Coast beaches. This medium-sized, black-hooded gull favors the ocean shore and is a common sight there during the summer, alongside other coastal bird species such as the Royal Tern and Piping Plover. It is less common along inland waterways." - abcbirds.org

I see you.
Just in case you think the birds aren't paying attention when you're out on the beach, here is a laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) staring me down yesterday as it flew past while I was taking its picture.
"The oldest known Laughing Gull was at least 22 years old when it was killed in Maine in 2009, the same state where it had been banded in 1987." - allaboutbirds.org

Good morning. 🌞
30 Sep 23
It's hard to tell the weekends from the weekdays. Except that the neighbor's truck is still in the driveway. When I worked, that was usually the case as well because I often worked 20 days in a row.
