Laughing Gulls...My Kind of Bird

Anyone who has ever been to the beach expects to see a few sea gulls, even if they do not see any other kind of bird. When I go to the beach, I always look for them, too. I was not disappointed on our recent trip to Rockport. Here are a few shots of some Laughing Gulls. 

Laughing Gulls have a very loud, raucous kind of call that sounds just like they are making fun of someone with a rude kind of laugh. If you have ever heard them, you will know exactly what I mean. Richard and I would joke about them making fun of other birds as they passed them in the air. Gulls apparently have a very low-class sense of humor.
