Gull’s Journey

Charlie and I sat outside this morning, savoring the cool air as we watched the birds flit about. Most of them were the usual backyard visitors, though Merlin picked up the songs of many others, including a northern bobwhite—one I couldn’t spot myself. Merlin has a way of teasing like that, offering glimpses of what’s there but unseen.

The bird in this image is a laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla). It’s not from my backyard, though I wouldn’t mind if it were—except during hurricane season. I captured this shot at a beach on the Gulf of Mexico, where it truly belongs, riding the coastal winds with effortless grace.
