The Search for Food

Southern Vancouver Island

It seems that gulls spend the majority of their time searching for food and this one was intent on finding something for breakfast! Gull facts: Gulls inhabit coastlines of oceans, bays, and major lakes. They typically prefer to stay within sight of land - some travel far inland to find food.~ Animal Btyes, seaworld.org

I think gulls are everywhere now, There are tons of them in Quebec high inland plateaus, mostly feeding on dumps. This is amazing capture, we seem to see his eyes through the water.
