Feeding the gulls from the car

My daughter likes to take the kids down to the beach to feed the gulls from the car. They come so close and hover, but the girls don't get scared because they're inside the car...

Enchanting. I consider gulls to be among the more beautiful and interesting birds.

And very forward, too. We are so used to them flying all over, but it's funny that when they get close you really appreciate their size. They're very crafty!

I saw a local Herring Gull swoop down and steal a sandwich from a guy's hand a few years ago. Crafty and cheeky and smart!
They're all great, but I especially like picture # 2 with him looking right at you.

They do give you that head-on stare once in awhile ... intimidation, I guess. That's why we keep the girls in the car. The birds flock around so fast and they're intimidating to little ones. The girls tend to freeze as they swoop in. At least when we feed the geese they're on the ground and we can always scoop the girls up; with the gulls they're just all over all at once!
