Gull in the Wind

“A laughing gull gracefully rides the currents, wings outstretched against the pale sky.” - Copilot

I saw this laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) at the beach in Gulfport, Mississippi. In this photo I think the gull was probably in a turn, you'll notice that its wings are vertical yet it head stay steady, straight ahead.

You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.

Just performed a swim rescue to reach a Laughing Gull entangled in fishing line, hanging from a swim platform at the Galleon Marina. We were able to make the rescue, cut the line, and are working on removing the swallowed fishing hook in our clinic now.

"The strident laughing calls of this well-named gull are among the most characteristic sounds around tidewater along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, especially in summer. It seems to be mostly a warm-weather bird, with the majority departing from Atlantic coastal areas north of Florida in winter. Its nesting colonies are localized but often large, sometimes with thousands of nests."

Laughing Gull (Leucophaeus atricilla)

The Laughing Gull's name comes from its raucous call, which sounds like a high-pitched "ha...ha...ha...". The specific name 'atricilla' comes from Latin 'atra' meaning black, unlucky, or malevolent, and 'cilla' meaning tail. Carl Linnaeus, who coined the species' scientific name in 1758, may have actually intended to write 'atricapilla', meaning black-haired, which would have been more accurate to the bird's appearance.

I see you.

Just in case up the birds aren't paying attention when you're out on the beach, here is a laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) staring me down yesterday as it flew past while I was taking its picture.

"The oldest known Laughing Gull was at least 22 years old when it was killed in Maine in 2009, the same state where it had been banded in 1987." - allaboutbirds.org

Laughing Gull just rescued at White Street Pier with severe fishing hook and line entanglement to beak, legs and body.

Just rescued a Laughing Gull at White Street Pier with a fishing hook and line entanglement. The Gull's beak, legs and body were tightly wrapped, but the bird could still fly, making it a challenging rescue. The hook and line were safely removed in our clinic and the Gull will be released.
