Seagull Study


06 July 2012


red billed and ready to grab the smallest morsel


caught in flight landing wings high and forward 
tipped black and white ends


coming in for landing 
body at 45 degrees red legs forward and down
red bill parallel light grey wings back


they flock and fight over every crumb
opportunists everyone


captured in flight like fallen angels
scavenging from humans


a different bird different landing technique
body almost horizontal wings near vertical
red legs limp red bill pointing down


more than a dozen they amass a squawk and squeak
comedians with wings feathers all a fluff


final shot front on landing
wings illuminated looking ethereal
