Hello, Bird Lovers!
This is my contribution to the Show Me A Photo Contest - Round 39 where the theme this week is "FLOCK."
I present to you
What the Flock?
"A FLOCK of SEAGULLS"
Seagulls were spotted everywhere at Carlyle Lake, Illinois on this late September afternoon...
...At the campground and on top of buoys that marked off the roped beach & swimming area
...On the parking and boat launch areas
(Same image as above with edits)
The seagulls relentlessly begged for scraps of leftover bait from fishermen as they pulled out their catches.
The birds were "equal opportunity" in their annoying pursuits for food from visitors - nobody felt left out!
Below is original content video I captured and uploaded of the same sassy group of seagulls that were gathered at Carlyle Lake when my mom and I last visited.
When I decided to use flock of seagulls as subject matter for my entry, one musical group in particular from the early 1980s came to mind. Anyone care to guess?

Always a pleasure to see you entering the contest. 🙂
Seagulls are very annoying and they are getting futher inland. Fish is no longer their only diet.
I like your edits very much.
"Who doesn't" is the answer to your question about "I ran". Nothing sounds more 80s than this 🙂
Perfect song to go with your flock! Great seagull photos. There were certainly a lot of them, especially considering how far we are from any seas!
Hahahaha! I love bird puns, too. They're never too fowl. 😂 My boys hate it when I mention that a flocking of birds flying away from us are "flocking off". They just hate it.
The seagulls down in Rehobeth Beach are so accustomed to people feeding them french fries that they're almost brave enough to take them off the table.

STOPWow, what a lot of seagulls. They are very beautiful birds, it is good that they all had the opportunity to eat. What a great opportunity you had to be able to observe them. Sun imagining it relaxes me. That you have a great day, it was a pleasure to visit your publication.
That's a lot of seagulls!
Beautiful photos. I love the edits especially the sea water. 😊
Happy Monday @ninahaskin! 😊
Thank you for the compliments!
Creating water edits is fun.
Glad you like the effects! @shikika
It deserve to be complimented @ninahaskin!
Happy weekend! 😊
