23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
two seagulls perched on a rock in front of the ocean
I was taking pictures of the seagulls at the beach when I noticed this pair. I was intrigued by their mostly-identical stances, only broken by one of the seagulls standing on one leg. Nothing appeared wrong with the leg that was tucked against its body; maybe the seagull just found the position comfortable. It remained in this stance for twenty minutes.
