seagull
 

so....momma here is pissed at me cuz i'm in her territory.

see,we're working by the river and there are shithawks everywhere.anyways,this gull has 3 chicks ....no shots as of yet,momma dive bombs us from one side and the dad from the other.kinda hard to get close to the chicks eh.

so here's a shot of her flyin' right at me.

this gull is a tough one.she flies at you when your back is turned and then she taps you on the head with her feet.she's already tagged 2 of my co-workers.

fuckin hilarious.........i'm tryin to convince them to be a target for the camera as well as the gull.

:D



hopefully pix of the chicks and one of my buddies gettin tagged within the next week

That is a fuckin' cool shot, man! :D


Reminds me of a mockingbird I shot in the ass with my brand new pellet gun when I was a kid.
I saw it on a branch about 20 ft. in front, and about 10 ft. above of me.
I take aim at its' chest and right when I squeezed the trigger it turned around and I hit it in the ass.
It took off, did a 180° turn and zeroed in on me like with your bird, fly, and came right at me. :eek:
It scared the bejeezus out of me and I kinda panicked.
I let out a sort of squawk and tried to duck and swing the gun at the same time but all I did was hit myself in the leg when the gun slipped.
The bird missed me and flew into the bushes where it was lost to me.
I never fired at another bird after that. ;)

Those gulls are a tough breed. I saw one in Galveston with only one leg.
We would throw crackers to them and it would get in there and scramble for his share. It says a lot about their spirit the way they overcome difficulties.

Thanks for the great shot, fly. :)

the things you do for TFP photography flyman, we're all impressed dude ;)

seriously, that is a perfect action shot... have you cropped it or are you just damned good?

Yeah man! Almost looks like you shoved a green broom handle up that poor birds butt, and left him as some kinda scarecrow(scaregull), so his friends would leave you boys alone.

i think that's in another section of TFP ...

dude.....many thanx......and it is cropped......nothin' special about it and i ain't that good....really lucky on that one.......forgot the damn camera today......and there were a hundred money shots i could've had.*fuckin' idiot eh*


momma was at her best and the wind was blowin' like crazy.......she'd hoover right above us in one spot............awesome.


not gonna forget the camera tomorrow.....the batteries are on the charger now.

Great action shot and hilarious commentary.

kinda scary!

thought this looked kinda cool...

the little one is cute ... shame they turn into noisy food-demanding crazy things when they grow up

(just been to the sea side where asshole tourists feed them, encouraging them to steal food off little kiddies ... brrr)

fast eye, fast shutter finger - photographers' skills.

thanks!

thanx Art,.....always good to here your view...


i'll give you the fast eye,but,....luck goes to the shutter finger and,well.........i'm always watchin' what goes on......so skill?.....i don't know about that,....that is something i'm willing to work on.

Very nice series of pics flyman...mama looks pissed off.


Do you stand around with your camera or do you actually work while up on the roof?

i don't know nuthin' about seagull eggs...
do spotted eggs make those spotted seagulls?

anyway, how sweet for you getting to watch life begin.
from a total bird's eye view! ;)

holy shit.....that bird wants blood! I love how symmetrical the bird looks....
