Field Notes
Description:
Herring Gulls are a very large gull, they are the quintessential gray-and-white, pink-legged "seagulls." When people think of seagulls, the first picture in ones mind is generally the Herring Gull.
Habitat:
These birds are living in the waters of Lake Michigan in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They are highly adaptable, and can be found in many many places.
Notes:
This series of photos was taken behind the Discovery World Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on April 28th, 2013. I had gone down to this area to see an Eared Grebe, that is normally not seen in my part of the world.
These two Herring Gulls, fought over this fish, until it was torn in two, at which point both grabbed their share of this game of tug of war, and swallowed it whole as fast as possible.
