Day 26: Rising
This little fellow was really cranky when I wouldn't feed him. In fact, in this photo he's already thinking about taking off into the air and trying to use me and my camera for target practice.

I like Birdies.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love birds, and this one's got great webbed feet, I don't think I'd have messed with this one either. There is evil in those eyes.
ReplyDeleteThe wages for posing for photos is food. You should know that Ziva.
ReplyDeleteWhat? You took a picture of a bird?! Next you'll be taking pictures of cats. Um... I mean... CHEESE!
ReplyDeleteSigh. I'm really starting to worry about you.
Never tick off a bird that is in range of using your head for a target.

You haven't lived until a pelican poops on you!!! What a beautiful shot... So crisp!
ReplyDelete"he's already thinking about taking off into the air and trying to use me and my camera for target practice." HA!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photograph, Ziva!
That bird has attitude! And you captured it very nicely!
ReplyDeleteLittle fellow? He looks big enough to serve for Thanksgiving dinner, or whatever it is you Finns do to celebrate the ruination of an entire race of whatever people you displaced when you took over your country.
ReplyDeleteOops, that turned out to be way more political than I meant it to be.
Lovely photo, Ziva, even though that bright-yellow beak makes me cringe with fear at the prospect of getting my eyes pecked out. Because that's what birds do, they peck your eyes out.
He does look kinda pissed off. Look at that permanent frown.
ReplyDeleteHe does looks pissed. Maybe someone else with a camera gave him breadcrumbs. Now he expects anyone holding a camera to provide for the flock.
ReplyDeleteSeagulls are evil. First they steal your food and then they crap on you.
ReplyDeleteSeagulls always look - and act - completely mad to me! We had one fix us with his beady little eyes in Venice one time. He sat on a gondola below the pizza place where we were eating and psyched us into throwing pizza crust for me. To give him his due, he was very entertaining, because he would catch every piece!
ReplyDeleteYep, it is, and I think it's out to get me.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I love that movie.
ReplyDeleteOf course you do. They peck your eyes out, you know.
ReplyDeleteI think those eyes probably shine in the dark...
ReplyDeleteDamn it, I've always asked for money.
ReplyDeleteI know.. I'm a little worried myself. But there will be no cheese photos, and no more bird photos. Or cat photos. There might be more alcohol, though.
ReplyDeleteWise words, Traci!
ReplyDeleteA pelican? That sounds really really unpleasant. :D
ReplyDeleteThank you, Meleah! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda! Sometimes I feel like that bird, attitude-wise. ;)
ReplyDeleteLuckily, we don't celebrate the ruination of an entire race of people we displaced when we took over our country, that's a decidedly American thing to do, just like pecking your eyes out is a decidedly birdlike thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI recognize that frown, I've been seeing it in the mirror for the last 26 days.
ReplyDeleteLazy gulls, depending on the charity of others.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't get much more evil than that!
ReplyDeleteWell see, that's different. Your seagull did tricks for his food. This one was just staring at me. Had he done a few tricks I might've fed him.
ReplyDeleteLovely capture. I hope you got hit !
ReplyDeleteYou hope I got hit with bird poop? Such hostility! Who pissed in your cereal this morning? :D
ReplyDeleteOh umm, heck did I say that out loud???
ReplyDeleteBet you did get hit eh??? snicker
ReplyDeleteseagulls 20 - Ziva 0
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to tell you I did NOT get hit. I have mad poop evading skills.
ReplyDeleteImpressive
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Chickens in Finland have webbed feet.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photo.
XOXOXO
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shawn.You're clearly no expert on birds, though, that's obviously an ostrich, not a chicken.
