I know some say that anthropomorphizing animals is a sign of--something bad (I can't remember what)--but, you know, these pics and descriptions put me in mind of a place I remember in WI called The Old Country Buffet. You paid one price and grazed for as long as you want. People went there and ate. And ate. And then ate some more--wanting to get their money's worth, I suppose. I could have replaced the humans there with these birds--and that silly seal!<br /><br />Thanks for this, Robin. You've been busy lately! Rated.

Heehee Still trying to break my wife of that habit.<br /><br />We had some ants flying around for a few hours the other day, but it was a Great-crested Flycatcher, several Catbirds, an Eastern Phoebe and a Belted Kingfisher that was devouring the insects. It was strange to see the Kingfisher eating ants! It was even stranger that my prized photography equipment was in the other car which was at least an hour from our home. I just sat by the picture window watching in amazement at the incredible action going on whilst I was camera-less.<br /><br />Great photography Robin!<br /><br />JohnMaineBirderhttp://www.birdingmaine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119844997664774587.post-43907179816964429882010-08-23T08:08:22.807-04:002010-08-23T08:08:22.807-04:00Well, Robin, I join the Laughing Gulls to laugh at...Well, Robin, I join the Laughing Gulls to laugh at this piece! It's delightful, as usual. And informative. And beautiful. Your photography replenishes my soul.<br /><br />I love gulls of any type--the laughing gulls make a home for themselves in my favorite place in the US, the Outer Banks of NC. My sister lives there all year now and my family and I used to go there for vacations. My son and I would walk for miles on the beach when he was younger and laugh with the gulls (neither of us needed much of an excuse to giggle--still don't, actually). So this brought back some lovely, happy memories. Thank you.<br /><br />Rated. D<br /> Yarn OverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
