The babies
Wednesday, July 17th, 2013I don’t have any great affection for Western Seagulls. I think it’s because there are so many of them and they’re here year-round, so I just don’t see them anymore.
However, a friend pointed out a Western Seagull nest at the launch ramp at the Port of Gold Beach. No matter how you feel about seagulls, babies are babies and almost universally cute. So, I’m now photographing them.

Maybe it was just trying to get away from the sibling that was crowding it with its wings. Whatever its intentions, if it falls, it’s about 15 feet to the floating dock and the water below, and these guys can’t fly, yet.
