Karla,

The oft' forgotten and e'er maligned seagull. It's about time they got some love. Well expressed and excellent use of the form.

Peace and (((Hugs))),

One thing I found amazing is that we have seagulls here in Northern Alberta!......where is the water? They land hunting for food from customers. They do tend to scream don't they? A few weeks ago I felt very saddened as I heard a seagull screaming in pain. Not sure what cause it but I could feel the torture in its voice. I believe it is possible this bird lost its mate.

Sorry I ramble sometimes. Great write!

When I was young, the only place you saw seagulls was by the sea, now they are or seem to be everywhere...even big cities without any water nearby...Ed
