Yes, a few too many eggnogs and all the inhibitions were gone. 🙂 You are right Barbara, my seagull-loving friend – it was windy that day. That was one of the seagulls from that morning in the parking lot where there were the Caspian Terns and Ring-billed Seagulls in a big gathering and the Osprey family fishing and hanging out in the nest … a fruitful trip!

Too many sips of the spiked eggnog maybe? I think I should have used the middle picture for the header image as that gull looked a little bleary-eyed. I’m not sure if it’s a male or female … I can only tell the juveniles from the adults apart but the feathers were sure all over the place from the wind.

Yes, we are having fun with our home parties with it being windy and chilly here already! We Texan Gulls… I mean Texan Gals just wanna have fun!! Put on the Christmas music, heat up those hot tamales and kick on your dancing booties!!! Let’s rock till we drop 🎄❤️🐾🐾

Well TD, you will need more than hot tamales to warm up if it is that chilly already and not even Winter. We are getting some ugly wintry weather here tonight too – we are getting 40 mph winds, snow squalls and at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow, it will be -5 “real feel” – ugh. Sunday we had 51 degrees and it was around 45 Monday and Tuesday. This morning was not fun with the high winds, but no snow or ice, so off I went. I have a funny from another blogger, I will put in another comment.

Oh yes, that confident expression in the first photo might as well be saying, “I’m ready to party!”

Yes, ready to take on the world, but scrolling to the second picture, it was bleary-eyed and looking frowsy. 🙂 (It was a windy day, so I took advantage of that since the gull had no feather gel handy.)

I don’t think so JP, just the party gulls … they already look a little frowsy with their feathers sticking out everywhere. 🙂

A Ring Billed Gull, the smallest in North America I believe.

I just looked Wayne because I did not know and these Ring Billed Gulls are the only gulls I see around here. I learned the smallest gulls are appropriately named “Little Gull” and some are here in North America, but just small colonies, particularly in the Southern Hudson Bay Region.

True to both Susan – I like them as they perch like a statue and if you don’t creep up on them too quickly, they will pose nicely for you!

Yes, the second picture, she/he was looking a little bleary eyed too. 🙂 The wind picked up once I got here and that seagull’s weathers were going awry. It needed some feather gel!

The wind can make all of us look bleary! But that seagull looked natural and poised.

That’s for sure Esther and we have had the windiest Fall I can remember in a long time. It seems it is rare when we have a day when the winds are not gusting at 25 – 35 an hour. The seagulls are great – they will post and you can get close to them, until you abuse their personal space too much and then they fly off screeching all the way.

I think seagulls are so pretty. Their beak looks like somebody taped it shut with electrical tape.

Yes, it does look like that doesn’t it? This one was very quiet – it was a windy day, so its feathers were making it look a little out of sorts. 🙂
