Great Photos Jeanne! I'm going back with my good camera. I was looking to see if any of our gulls have returned, gonna take the kids and see if they recognize each other.

Everything at Tern Lake but a tern.....great photos, so many varieties of foul.
ReplyDeleteThe terns are on their way. They come from South America, so it takes a while.
DeleteSeagulls chasing away an eagle? Patti and I watched from the coastal trail here in Anchorage .. slightly horrified .. one time when a group of five seagulls were approached by a single eagle. The eagle calmly seized a seagull from the group .. as the other seagulls were going nuts .. and flew away with the captured seagull. To this day we are less-than-thrilled with eagles. As usual .. phenomenal photos .. Smiles .. Cap and Patti ..
ReplyDeleteIt is not pleasant to watch, but eaglets have to eat, too. And the seagulls are not above raiding nests of ducks and terns.
