Waiting for a handout

We spent a few days on the Oregon coast, driving from Portland to Lincoln City, up to Astoria and back along the Columbia River. Nothing spectacular, but a pleasant and relaxing time was had by all (Tim, me, my mother-in-law and Sahraa).

One of our neighbors at the hotel was feeding the seagulls, who obviously knew what to expect.

They have obviously been conditioned to expect a handout. We see them on the Texas coast, too. If I want to grab an action shot I toss a handful of Cheerios into the air. It can be pretty funny... Voted.

so a group of those seagulls are very annoying to us especially for children they are quite aggressive they attack and pick up the food from your hands. a very image you made Helen lovely ocean view BV

I love how birds always face into the wind. Great catch of these flying beggars.

The Oregon coast has some lovely scenery, and here the gulls are waiting for something to happen or for food! V

On the Belgian coast they are agressive and not as calm as in your capture.

Magnifique prise. V

The lighting really makes the gulls stand out. I'll bet Sahraa had a ball in the water.
