Walking with the gulls

Yes, we did! The gulls were congregating in a parking lot across from where we went to get our iced coffee last night.


And amongst them is this dark fellow. Well, we are just a bit too far away to see clearly if he is just a brown gull or something else.


Then a few of the came over to the lot we were parked in and while this isn't the dark one, he might be related. So, we decided to drive over and get a closer look (yes, drive, it is one of the busiest streets in the city, you don't cross it on foot).


I think he is a gull, but couldn't find anything in Wikipedia or WhatBird to confirm. He flies like a gull and has the same webbed feet, so if anyone knows any differently please let me know.


So many of them were sitting like decoys on a pond though and let us walk quite close to them. Then they walked along with us.

Have a good day all....and those in Canada that have the day off - enjoy!
