Ring-billed Gull
The Gull is reacting to the sudden appearance of a Peregrine Falcon chasing another Gull in the air over the Ottawa River shoreline. While other birds fled this one, feeding in the shallows, spun and watched, shrieking loudly. This was the fifth time I have been on the River during Peregrine flyovers. It causes quite a stir. I should add that I am 0/5 trying to get an image of the Peregrine when it hunts over the River. It flies low and moves faster than I had appreciated. It is an amazing experience though.
