Flight Past the Shark Shack

We were in Galveston, Texas a while back, and I found myself standing on a corner watching gulls swoop and glide through the sky. Naturally, I had my camera ready. I caught this laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) soaring down the street, just about to cross through the intersection. As it passed overhead, it happened to fly right by a restaurant called The Shark Shack.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

Got Shrimp

Here’s a moment where a laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) swooped down and plucked a shrimp straight from the surf—mid-flight, mid-feast, mid-ceremony. And of course, a sanderling (Calidris alba) wandered into the frame, photobombing with perfect timing and coastal dignity.

I captured this scene on the beach at Gulfport, Mississippi.

In case you think birds don't notice you on the beach, here's a laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) that locked eyes with me last year as it flew past while I captured its photo.

G-Force Gull

This Laughing Gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) cruised by at eye level while I waited on a corner in Galveston, Texas—wings wide, attitude bold. I’m pretty sure it blew right through a stop sign.
