my heron buddy has a friend of his own, regulars who are on this pier every time I arrive for a sunrise 🙂

A golden glow lights the sky and river's calm water near a major highway bridge, looking in the opposite direction of a morning sunrise. The bridges huge support columns reflect an inverse image on the water below. In the foreground a heron and a gull sit quietly as I approach. They are there to hunt in the sunrise waters, I'm there for the sunrise in the opposite direction. They seem comfortable with my appearance, and are likely the same pair I see every time I visit this particular pier.

    Seagulls At Boca Chica Beach ©Debra Martz
    Two Herring Gulls at the edge of the beach. The one in the front is an adult and the one in the back is around 2-3 years old based on its different plumage. Boca Chica Beach is located on the Gulf of Mexico at the far south tip of Texas.

    Digital brushes to enhance the Gulf waters & sandy shoreline.

    Two seagulls stand in shallow water, creating ripples and reflections beneath them. The background is a uniform, misty blend of greys and blues of the Gulf's water, highlighting the birds' presence. They are both Herring Gulls but in different plumage as one is an adult and the other is immature. Photo Art by Debra Martz

    After a short negotiation with my youngest child, I was allowed to turn the car and check out the birds I had spotted along the road. But not for more than 5 minutes.

    But that was enough to identify them as Lesser Black Backed Gulls, my first for '24 😍 .

    A little later I had to pick up my oldest - and took my camera with me 📸 🙂

    Two Lesser Black-backed Gulls standing in shallow water, with some sand visible at the top of the picture. The two birds are standing next to each other, facing the same direction. They have almost black wings, a white line where the tail starts and then very black tail feathers with white dots. Their head is not so big, and they don't look very "mean" (if that is possible). Their yellow beaks have a red dot at the bottom part.

    Editing backlog: the most on-brand black headed gulls you’ll ever see

    The three black headed gulls standing in a circle, wings slightly opened, all running in different directions, their bright red beaks are open since they’re still shouting, and they’re pointing their heads at the sky. It looks very dramatic, reminds me of witches dancing in a circle to summon demons or something.

    Three black headed gull pictures in a row, all standing further away from the camera. The one closest by is looking at the right, the one in the middle is tilted slightly more towards the camera, the one in the back is looking almost directly at the camera. All have their bright beaks wide open, clearly shouting. The white circle around their black eyes makes their face look even more intense.

    These gulls 🖤 they’re waking me up every morning with their weird loud laughing calls as people feed them in the park.

    Met this one the other day on my walk along the river, after a short period of rain the sun came through the clouds again, which birds definitely seemed to enjoy. This one was watching people for a while, before returning into the river to bathe.
