Laughing Gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) - Brownsville, Texas
Some of the coolest memories I had on my Texas trip involved Laughing Gulls. One was visiting a field in Rockport with thousands of Laughing Gulls mating with a Sooty Tern in the middle! LOL and the other was riding the Galveston ferry and the captain announcing it was ok to go to the back to the ferry and feed the gulls. About 20 of us went back and fed the gulls as they followed the boat I got some great flight shots that way! haha. That would never happen on BC Ferries.
I took this photo in a newly made parking lot so I made a portrait. Unfortunately another piece of paradise that has been paved over by a parking lot. Hopefully the nearby Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge in Texas (which I went to right after taking this pic) doesn't get the actual border wall that Trump says he wants to build right through it. The wall would be devastating as it is home to more than 400 species of birds, 450 plants, and the endangered Ocelot.
