Isn't that what some wrinkles are called? This tulip, even though it hasn't much life left, still has a lot of beauty, in my mind. The wrinkles give it so much more character ;)

Black-headed gull in Winter plumage/ the head is predominantly Black in the Summer months.

The genus name Chroicocephalus is from Ancient Greek khroizo, "to colour" and kephale "head".

The specific ridibundus is Latin for "laughing" from ridere "to laugh"

(Chroicocephalus ridibundus, Syn: Larus ridibundus)

Thanks for your Views Faves and Comments, have all a nice day. 🍂✌

A very serious laughing kookaburra.

The Laughing Gull is the dominant species on the Texas coast. They are year-long residents along the Gulf coast and up the Atlantic coastline. They breed as far north as the coast of Maine. They will winter as far south as both coasts of northern South America.

Notice how nearly identical this gull is to the Bonaparte's Gull, except the bill and legs on the BG are dark red and the eye ring is a bit more pronounced. Its call is different, too, as it does sound like a laugh.

I found this bird in Texas. Like many gulls, it didn't seem to mind people. I was happy he posed for me. The sky was overcast, so I didn't get any gleaming light on the bird, but he still presents well here.

Thanks Colin

This kookaburra was sitting in the tree in our front yard. The photo was taken through our open balcony door and the kookaburra was at about eye level.

Or at least kind of smiling

Thanks so much for the visit!

You start off by pretending

You're a dancer with grace

You wiggle till they're

Giggling all over the place

And then you get a great big custard pie in the face

Make 'em laugh

Make 'em laugh

Make 'em laugh
