Notes: I often rode a ferry to a neighboring island to surf when I was living on Oak Island, NC while writing my first book, and there were always tons of seagulls flying alongside the boat, hoping to get fed by tourists. It can be pretty hazardous standing beneath a bunch of seagulls shooting upwards, but I got lucky on this day. While seagulls are extremely common, and nowhere near as majestic as the bald eagles or osprey that hunt the Cape Fear River alone, I still enjoy taking pictures of them in flight. Unlike the stately and orderly lines of pelicans that cruise above the water in perfect formation, at first glance a large flock of seagulls resembles a flying ball of winged chaos, but in fact they move as one unit. These frantic dancers of the salty winds move to their own off-time rhythm, but their choreography remains a mystery to me.
