…the laughing gull is the most dependable ally of the inshore fisher due to the fact that it prefers to steal rather than work…😎😎
I learnt a new thing about Black-Headed Gulls today! The species-specific part of their scientific name (Chroicocephalus ‘ridibundus’) means ‘laughing ‘ and comes from their ‘ke-ke-ke’ and ‘kverarrr’ calls. In view of this, the Black-Headed Gull is referred to as the ‘laughing’ gull in other languages, such as German.
Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.

The most iconic bird of Australia, the Laughing Kooaburra, is basically a large robust kingfisher. Its loud cackling laughter is an indispensible part of the dawn orchestra in the Australian bush.

The great 'grab' shot. I saw the bird coming through the trees and bushes, and thought, Why Not?

Leucophaeus atricilla
(Laughing gull / Gaviota reidora americana)
The laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) is a medium-sized gull of North and South America. Named for its laugh-like call, it is an opportunistic omnivore and scavenger. It breeds in large colonies mostly along the Atlantic coast of North America, the Caribbean, and northern South America.
The two subspecies are: L. a. megalopterus – which can be seen from southeast Canada down to Central America, and L. a. atricilla which appears from the West Indies to the Venezuelan islands. The laughing gull was long placed in the genus Larus until its present placement in Leucophaeus, which follows the American Ornithologists' Union.

She thinks you must just be jealous of her fluffy pink stool. Yes, that's it. You couldn't possibly be laughing at her. :)
Yesterday's Crazy Tuesday group theme was Negative Space and, as usual, I tried a few different ideas. I'm beginning to think I must have a split personality. The image I chose to post was the grown up version. I'll leave you to decide what this one is. :)

Juvenile Seagulls are very challenging to identify. They go through several plumage transitions during the first couple of years until they finally reach their dramatically different adult plumage.
