"What the Flock?" - SMaP #39

Hello, Bird Lovers!

This is my contribution to the Show Me A Photo Contest - Round 39 where the theme this week is "FLOCK."

I present to you

What the Flock?

"A FLOCK of SEAGULLS"

Seagulls were spotted everywhere at Carlyle Lake, Illinois on this late September afternoon...

...At the campground and on top of buoys that marked off the roped beach & swimming area

...On the parking and boat launch areas

(Same image as above with edits)

The seagulls relentlessly begged for scraps of leftover bait from fishermen as they pulled out their catches.

The birds were "equal opportunity" in their annoying pursuits for food from visitors - nobody felt left out!

Below is original content video I captured and uploaded of the same sassy group of seagulls that were gathered at Carlyle Lake when my mom and I last visited.

When I decided to use flock of seagulls as subject matter for my entry, one musical group in particular from the early 1980s came to mind. Anyone care to guess?

A Flock of Seagulls!

Who remembers their hit song "I Ran"?

As a lifelong bird lover, I admire the talented aviary photographers and creative material presented by contributors to the Feathered Friends Community founded by the wonderful @melinda010100.

Thank you to our awesome judge @oks2crypto who is tasked with the difficult job of choosing the winners amongst all entries each week!

This is my second time entering the SMaP contest.
