Field Notes

Description:

These seagulls were spotted on Carrabelle Beach in Florida, waiting for some unlucky visitors to be raided by squawks and a flock of birds hovering overhead. The seagulls are mostly white and gray with long wings and legs. They also fly gracefully and have long bills to help with food consumption.

Habitat:

They live with edible sea life all around them, though probably feast off visitors giving them food from lunch. The beach is around 300 feet from where they were in the picture and they also obviously see plenty of visitors too.
