I went out on a walk in the bosque New Year’s morning. There was a light dusting of snow, and the sky was overcast. Several seagulls flew up and down the Rio Grande, often flying close enough for me to get clear shots with a 200 mm lens. Seagulls flying around in the high desert is a strange sight.
Off Center & Not Even 
Love the images of the seagulls in the desert!
Thanks, Susan!
Really nice! But what are they doing there??
I think they use the Rio Grande Valley as part of their migration route, but I don’t know where they are migrating to that is so far inland.
Beautiful captures, Timothy! We sometimes see gulls over in the Cascade foothills too, but we are not far from the Santiam River and Foster lake here.
I love the colors in the last photo!
Thanks, Lavinia! The colors were really nice once the clouds started to break up.
They are amazing photographs… Thank you dear, Happy New Year and Blessing & Happiness with your family, love, nia
Thanks, Nia! Happy New Year!
Fabulous photographs – and what a strange sight, indeed…! Have a wonderful day. Janet.
Thanks, Janet!
I love the voice of the seagull.
Reminds me of the ocean….I guess it would remind me of the ocean, even on a river. 🙂
Thanks, Mary! I like their calls also, but these seagulls weren’t making any noise. Just flying up and down the river.
Those little scavengers really are everywhere. Gorgeous shots. I’m “homesick” every time i see those mountains. Happy New Year hugs! 😀
Thanks, Teagan! Maybe you’ll make your way back to the southwest in 2015.
It’s great and wonderful
Thanks!
Magic colours in the last pic! Safe flying sea birds 🙂
Thanks, Julie!
It’s amazing how you can capture such fast movement WOW! Beautiful!
Thanks, Miz Shaaz!
I like your photos – birds in flight are captivating.
Thanks, Janna!
