This Ring-billed Gull does not know that today is Sunday of Labor day weekend, and that in just two days it will have a beach very much more free of people.

Getting down to the level of Laughing Gulls feeding on Horseshoe Crab eggs gives you the feel of being just one of the gulls.

Laughing Gull Nesting Colony
Filed Under gulls, Summer 2009
I kayaked out to a Laughing Gull nesting colony last evening in Rehoboth Bay, Delaware. It was a great night and I have several photographs to post over the next few days. This sequence, from top to bottom shows an adult Laughing Gull on a nest, two eggs in a nest, a just-born baby still with the egg tooth on the tip of its bill, and the last two show three recently born chicks with one practicing its calling.
