Ring-billed Gulls gobble down morsels in city parking lot

With an interest I have in wildlife’s adaptation to city habitat, I have been photographing these gulls in a parking lot. The gulls appear about an hour after sunrise and provide a challenge. I have been impressed with the speed at which a small flock can descend and take portions of spilled groceries. Photos taken with a Canon R6 and a 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM.

Nicely shot, they like anything that doesn't try to eat them

Nice. I'm surprised you see flocks of these in farmers fields far from water
