Block Island Family

I'd never seen baby seagulls before, but there were dozens of nesting seagulls around the North Lighthouse. These siblings were both pleading piteously to their Mom(?) for something to eat--sometimes in unison. I shoulda captured it on video, but I'm definitely more of a still photo kinda guy. I watched them for some time, hoping to catch a feeding, but it never came I guess Mom was teaching them patience (HA! As if ANY seagull evidenced even a trace of that trait!). This northern end of the island was quite beautiful, as it's been kept undeveloped (save for the lighthouse) as a wildlife preserve. The other end of the island was plenty beautiful as well, and where I spent the majority of my time. There is where one finds Mohegan Bluffs Beach, photos of which will eventually find their way into my stream.
