Winter 2006 Wolfgang Wander

Ring-Billed Gull Larus delawarensis

NY, Nissequogue - Short Beach

Another one from the bad-seagull-behaviour portfolio ;-)



Actually - this bird is probably not throwing up but regurgitating a pellet
(basically a collection of fish bones and clam shells that the bird
cannot process through the other end of the digestive system)...

Great action shot Wolfgang... how long did you have to sit and wait for this opportunity? Loved the caption too :)

Excellent nature shot. Something not often seen. Excellent light and details.

What great timing!!! In 20 years of birding, we've never seen this. Like the caption too. Sandy S
