I received a stark reminder that these idyllic suburban ponds are not Disney Cartoon-style peaceful utopias. There are life and death struggles - nature - going on in our neighborhoods. This recidivist great black-backed gull has apparently developed a taste for hooded hens in this diverse pond.

Franklin Island Light, Muscongus Bay, Friendship, Maine. Once the lighthouse was automated in 1933, all the structures, save the tower and oil house, were burned. In 1973 U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service took over care of what is now Franklin Island National Wildlife Refuge. It's a popular nesting spot for a number of gull species, as well as eiders, storm petrels and other sea birds. Because of this, the refuge is closed to the public annually from April 1st to July 31st, so the birds can focus on keeping their chicks safe and fed.

This was surprisingly difficult? I never realised how hard it would be to do a bird with a fair amount of white without making it look super flat, but I think I did okay! @a-dinosaur-a-day flap flap squawk squawk

hey guys I’m not allowed to post photos but today I saw some baby gull chicks who were literally small and some of them were sleepy. just so you know.

#great black backed gull #larus marinus #i also saw an egg hatching!#and a weird shared hallucinatory moment in the middle of a black back colony when they’re all calling and circling around #and start to sound like human voices #i say shared because i mentioned this and other people agreed and added it sounded like they were shouting ‘help!’ and ‘no!’#such a weird experience looking around and realising nobody was talking it was just the gulls #m

"Our largest gull. Primarily a bird of the Atlantic Coast, seldom seen inland except around the Great Lakes. Because of its large size and omnivorous feeding habits, the Great Black-back can be a significant predator on other species of birds during the nesting season. It has benefitted from certain human activities (such as the establishment of garbage dumps) and has expanded its range southward along the Atlantic seaboard in recent decades."

Anser anser (Oca Selvatica, Oca grigia, Greylag goose)

Larinae (probabily a young Larus marinus - Gabbiano, probabilmente un esemplare giovane, mugnaiaccio)

Probabily Trachemys scripta (Tartarughe)
