WHAT'S THAT ON THE GROUND? WHO'S LAUGHING NOW: SHOW ME A SHADOW: Week #123

@melinda010100
Shadow Hunters Contest Round 123-Show Me A Shadow

These shadows are courtesy of a group of Laughing Gulls I happened to capture one day while visiting Galveston Island in Texas. Not one, but three shadows. One bird is looking down at his shadow as if pondering a question or wondering what's going on.

The second bird strikes me as being accustomed to seeing his shadow and stands at attention, as does the third bird in the far left top of the photo. It's amazing how they gather in a row, at an angle. One bird always is a distance ahead. The leader maybe.

I noticed that when others join the flock, they seem to know where they are to be lined up in the hierarchy. If not exactly in place, they will move sideways. I love to sit and watch them. These birds are very friendly. They're not afraid to come close, especially if they think you have food. They will run quickly to you when trying to feed them on the Seawall, as most tourists do.

Laughing Gulls are medium size gulls with long wings. Their legs look so funny while they're attempting to get in position walking sideways. They eat insects, fish and other small sea dwellers.
