“Most gulls don’t bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight“ how to get from shore to food and back again. For most gulls, it is not flying that matters, but eating.”
When he discovers the technique of flying :
“How much more there is now to living! Instead of our drab slogging forth and back to the fishing boats, there’s reason to life! We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill. We can be free! We can learn to fly!”
Quotes from Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach.

Nice flight photo.
Lou, years ago we would sometimes dock our boat overnight at the Trump Castle Marine. I would be struck by the gulls circling high above the casino in the lights that the casino projected up into the night sky. The gulls weren’t flying; they were just soaring as though on thermals, and I thought, they were just enjoying themselves, something we don’t think of birds doing. Later, however, in our cynical world someone told me that they were just circling in the updrafts to catch mosquitos. So much for my theory.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Seagulls which are very much part of the shore ecosystem.
I’m sorting through pictures trying to find a group for a show, it’s a difficult task to find the best of
your own work. Take care Lou
