All in a days work! Seagulls use wet and dry twigs to make nests as well as mud, feathers and leaves. Here two of the birds have wet twigs, making them more pliable and easy to work with.

Exif: Exposure Bias Value: 0.67, ExposureTime: 1/500 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 200, FocalLength: 132.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D

Great timing to get the multiple take-offs, landings, fly bys and just resting seagulls. Fabulous capture, Phyllis. #1518030

Beautiful comp and lighting, Phyllis!! Gulls are more resourceful than I used to think-- recently saw them digging up clams, flying over to a parking lot, then dropping the clams on the pavement to crack them open... #10602014
