Seagulls in the desert?
Do you have seagulls in your area? Do you live by the sea? We live more than 200 miles from the sea, yet we have seagulls all over the place. Would you still call them seagulls if they are not by the sea? Quite a few of them hang around a large river that is near us, so it makes some sense that they would be around the parks near this river and the riverbanks. But you actually see them all over town miles away from the river. Our house is about 10 miles away from the river and we live across the street from a nice green pasture that has cows and in the Spring when the irrigation water starts up and the farmer is watering his field, there are hundreds of seagulls that appear. It is actually quite a pretty site and neat to see (up until they drop poop all over our deck). We have also seen different varieties of cranes around, so maybe they are just traveling further to get enough to eat.
We don't have too many pigeons around but they can be similar to seagulls in creating a mess and begging for food etc. I heard or read something interesting the other day about pigeons that made me go hmmm. Have you ever seen a baby pigeon or a baby seagull for that matter? It's like they come out as adults, ready to scavenge for whatever they can find and then poop it all over.
Here are a few bird-related one liners:
When your pet bird sees you reading the newspaper, does he wonder why you're just sitting there, staring at carpeting?
If dove season means you can shoot dove, and quail season means you can shoot quail, what is the tourist season?

You are funny!
Anyhow....we have seaguls but we live fairly close to the sea. What I don't get is why we have Canadian geese. They live hear year long at this one little pond. I guess they just got lazy one year and never flew home.

Plenty of seagulls here in our area. We live about 25 miles from the ocean, so the seagull yuppies have relocated here to the suburbs in search of a better fish.
P.S. Blogger wouldn't let me sign in.
