EDITORS COMMENTS
Ready for Takeoff: Herring Gulls Show Off Their Flying Skills at the Lake!". In this snapshot by John Cancalosi, we witness a spectacular moment as two adult Herring Gulls prepare to take flight from the serene waters of a New York lake. With wings outstretched and determination in their eyes, these magnificent sea birds are about to embark on an airborne adventure. Known for their abundance along coasts, particularly in harbors and garbage dumps (yes, they have peculiar taste!), these gulls prove that lakes and rivers are also part of their playground. As primarily scavengers, they fearlessly scour for food wherever it may be found. But what sets them apart is their ingenious technique of breaking mollusks by dropping them from heights! Talk about creative dining habits! With the picturesque water as their backdrop and North American habitat as home, these Herring Gulls showcase not only their impressive flight skills but also remind us of the diverse wildlife that thrives across our beautiful continent. So next time you're near a lake or river in America's backyard, keep your eyes peeled for these graceful aviators. Who knows? You might just catch them mid-flight like John Cancalosi did - frozen forever in this stunning photo print!
