  • Franklin's Gulls visit Elk Island during the summer months, and crowd onto the lakes to eat insects emerging from the water. Come listen to the shrill calls as I highlight where you can find these birds. Can you imagine sleeping among this sound? Well, someone managed to!

    The gulls have a lot to talk about on the lake. Great to see what they are dining on and the beautiful close view of the sleepy one. Best regards, Cathy

    These Gulls look thin when they are on the lake, but plump and pretty when they are in the meadow. Their singing voice is lively. I enjoyed the nice video.😀

      Me too. We had lots of Herring Gulls in the summer months and hearing them call is quite soothing. This was perhaps a little hectic with so many all in one space though, and I've started to notice how often you can hear them flying around the park during our hikes. Thanks so much!

      @DonnaTaibossigai  3 місяці тому

      It's neat and frustrating for birders how there's a number of gulls that look so similar. I think the Black-headed ones can also be found on the east coast of North America as well. Thanks so much for watching, Jay!

      @DonnaTaibossigai  3 місяці тому +1

      Very true, I was also amused when an American visited the area and was shocked to see the "sea" gulls so far inland. Not all gulls live by the ocean. I quite like the white areas around the eyes, it makes them look quite dramatic.

    Remarkable filming.

    I like you follow one busy gulls. Outstanding...I cannot even record a moving object in one frame hahahah
    I am glad to know Birds are returning to North...now your turn to enjoy bird-watching.
    As always, precise and unique observation. I thank YOU

    • @DonnaTaibossigai
      @DonnaTaibossigai  3 місяці тому

      Yeah, it can be pretty tough holding the camera steady. One trick I've found it to not have the camera fully zoomed in, as any vibrations will be exaggerated even more. These birds were really noisy and I had to decrease them for the video, so yes, they are even noisier in person! Thanks so much for watching and the lovely comment Ms. Kayak!
