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.





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

That is a fuckin' cool shot, man!


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.
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.

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.

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)
