22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A Scramble for Survival

In a scene reminiscent of a classic wildlife documentary, a flock of seagulls engages in a fierce aerial battle over a single piece of bread. The birds, with their wings outstretched and beaks agape, dive and twist in mid-air, each vying for a chance to snatch the coveted morsel. The azure sky serves as a stark backdrop to this dramatic display of nature's raw instincts.
