Flock of Seagulls

Flock of Seagulls

Uploaded: April 01, 2009

Description

For the Comedy Relief Club
On a dolphin cruise with my daughter in Destin, Florida, while visiting Sherrybear and DJ Glen, literally a hundred or more seagulls were following the boat waiting for snacks as we were just leaving the harbour. I gathered that this happens with each route as the birds were not so plentiful when we first left dock or for the balance of the cruise. There were a few here and there that stuck around, but certainly not THIS many! Often times, they were within inches of the people throwing chips and stuff to them. It got to be a bit freaky after a while!

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/3400 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 160, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 7.80 mm, Model: FinePix S7000

Heheh, Laura! No, they didn't, but it sure seemed like the could have. All the cared about were the chips that the people were tossing to them.
Thanks for the visit, Doc! #7373172
