Beautiful silky feathers blow in a mornig breeze as this Snowy Egret preens.
Gulls get a bad rap for their raucous behavior, pushy personalities and rapid multiplication. But I found these gulls so charming. I loved the way this individual carried himself. He just had a very thorough bath in the ocean.
I kept my eye on this particular gull. He is giving his leg a little scratch. Note how his lovely red beak and legs matches his eyeliner.
