First Day in Maine

2008.08.11
Herring Gull



Bonaparte's Gull

Great Black-backed Gull


A grey overcast day on the beach today. We arrived yesterday afternoon at high tide, so this was our first day down on the sand. The gulls descended for their morning meal as the tide began to recede and Peter began to hunt the tide pools for creatures to examine. They will merit a macro day before too long!

astrobrojler Wow, #2 and #3 looks amazing! I've never seen gull eating crab. #6 is also interesting.

GnatBytes Those first three shots are fantastic. What lucky catches with the fiddler crab in its beak.
