The Seagulls of Bodega Bay California

.
The Seagulls of Bodega Bay are brought to you by bright sunshine, and my never ending fascination with the zoom on Sony Too.  Can I get this shot???  Is there enough zoom???  Can I hold the camera still (I refuse to carry a tripod, it is that "carrying" thing I object to the most).  Can I find a wall or a fence or something to hold Sony more still???

This seagull was a VERY long way away.  I think he (or she) may have found a nugget to nibble on. I had watched it reach down into that crevasse and pull out that tidbit.

I have NO idea what they were talking about or to whom, but, it sure looks like they were giving something a piece of their mind.  (This is a bit out of focus, but worth sharing, cracked me up!)

This one is definitely mining for nesting materials in that ice plant.

Material secured - - - - take off!

Back at the parking lot, this gull stood right on the hood of the car parked next to us, and proceeded to stare us down!

The Birds, Err Gulls, of Bodega

.

Today we drove to Bodega Bay. Bodega Head and a bit on 1 along the Pacific. There were a lot of seagulls, and they seemed to be showing off for Sony Too today.  So, with a bit, well, a lot of zoom, and some good luck (see the dude/ette walking on the hood of the car parked next to us), we did have a bit of a bird, err, gulls sorta day.

Lots o zoom, thanks to Sony Too:

Zoomed to the max, looks like dinner has been found.

Again, much zoom,  these two were screeching at something, non-stop.

Take off with nesting materials in hand, err, beak.

Have car, will walk, less than 5 feet from Sony Too.

I know, these are not those killer birds from the movie that was made near here, but, that is still a lot of critters!
