Made in the Shade



Gull gathering in the shade




Close up of Camille Playhouse Bird Club.


As Ryan Henry said on Facebook "The gull days of summer are here."
I was surprised to see all the seagulls sitting under the canopy of a tree this afternoon. It seems more normal to see them flying or walking at the beach in full sun rather than under a tree getting some relief from the heat. Guess being by the water helps cool them off. 

Midday heat has its effects.

Course some kids ran up and all the gulls took off. I imagine it didn't take the birds long to return to their previous spot. I expect the tree they had picked not only took advantage of the shade but was situated to take the best advantage of the cross breezes we are so fortunate to have here in Brownsville, Texas. That's called using your ole bird brain.
