Juvenile herring gull on a QUEST
Q is for QUEST
Young gulls are just like human kids - always hungry. And the snow in this gull's beak is not satisfying it's hunger. A sign on the edge of the parking lot asks humans to please not feed the birds...and that includes gulls. But wait!
Surprise!
A baggy. Hmmmm.
Circling the baggy
Gulls don't need experience to know something tasty might be inside the plastic. They just know. However, this gull didn't know how to get the goodies out of the bag.
Totally frustrated gull
The gull shook the bag, put it down, picked it up, then shook it again...and again.
Good thing the gull didn't want that human stuff anyway!! (Yeah, right!)

Your"totally frustrated gull" made me smile!so true !
your birds pics are really impressive! The yesterday's ones are really beautiful too, but I have a thing with gulls, especially young ones!
Your photos are, as always, perfection but it was the humour in your narrative that made this really outstanding for me!
Great photos! I was kinda hoping the gull figured out a way to open the bag.
Frustrating! I'm always afraid they will eat the plastic but I guess this guy knew better.

poor gull, did you dump it out for them? i would have.
Wow, those are neat shots.
These are all beautiful. The first one made my jaw drop. So much lovely detail!
you captured his frustration well. :)
Great in tight shots!
The poor starving thing. ;-)
Nice series of photos. Have you heard the saying "I'm as happy as a seagull with a french fry"? :)
Aww, they really are like human kids. I love how you caught that so nicely here!
Great series, but the advice is 100% correct: Don't Feed The Birds! We have the same signs here, and with good reason. It's virtually impossible to eat outdoors here, the gulls just swoop down and snatch your food straight from your hands!
:-) Don't you find that ALL gulls, regardless of their age, have big stomachs? :-)
You are a person of remarkable talent! Leave it up to you to turn litter into photographic art. Kudos!
I was kind of cheering him on, but I guess it is better that he doesn't eat human food...
Wow! Fantastic photography ~ love the gulls ^_^ ~ Great post for 'Q' .
Beautiful gulls. Poor thing, to get nothing after all that trying. But I agree, better to not eat human food.
Too bad the full could not open the bag. Great photos!
Very fun series. But I'll bet it got the food out of the bag! I mean, really; how gullible do you think I am? (Don't answer that!)
Poor bird. My animals always know when I have treats (or have just eaten something they would like).
You are amazing, EG. You can even understand gull gestures.
Fun post and I hope you did took the baggy away.
I love your photos too. Stunning!
Too funny and oh so cute! :)
What great pictures and so cute. He will learn fast enough
Lovely *Q* post – great photography!
The seagulls around here in S Spain certainly know how to open anything containing food!
Have a great Alphabe-Thursday and weekend too,
Visiting from Alphabe-Thursday
delightful shots! love your description of the gull circling the goody bag :)
fascinating love to watch these birds so nosy, great shots !
What a great sequence. I hope that gull soon found something to eat that he could get to.
Great photos and narrative!

Great shots. You must have a great lens to get that close of shots.
The quest for food is always my personal favorite...
;)
wonderful photos!

Great photos! The last one was my favorite! Your captions went so well with each one.
These were really neat pictures!
Now I know where I get my constant hunger from! I must be descended from a young gull.

Geez.
That was a dumb comment.
But you still deserve an A+
