SkyWatch Friday - Feeding Seagulls!

I was under the pier at Newport Beach, CA taking pictures when suddenly a mass of seagulls launched into the air and hovered overhead.

 This guy caught a morsel tossed from the side of the pier.

The beach was very damp, cold and cloudy...just a white sky!

These feet just arrived for a landing on the Santa Monica Pier.

They belong to this lovely creature.

 I can't help it.  

I have to photograph every pelican I see.

Their sweet eyes are irresistible.

This one is a beauty!

I love these fabulous birds with the great personalities!

SkyWatch Friday and Looking at the Sky on Friday / In Flight

 

The pier at Seal Beach, California

 

 

After the morning haze lifted a nice blue sky appeared along the southern California coastal areas.

I photographed these seagulls flying over the pier at Seal Beach at about 2:00 in the afternoon,

Doheny Beach / Dana Point Harbor (August 9, 2009)

I want to improve my skills capturing birds in flight...there is plenty of opportunity for practice around the Dana Point Harbor. More practice is needed, but, here is what I got this past weekend. The last photograph is of a sea-gull. I thought it had a fish in it's mouth when I took the picture, but, maybe not...The rest are very busy pelicans hunting for "boat-trash."
