Breakfast on the beach
by Jerry Marella
St. Pete Beach is a pretty good place to photograph gulls and other types of sea birds when the beach isn't crowded. Morning is the best time with the sun in the right place and not too many people to scare the birds off. The birds are very tolerant unless you approach too quickly.
This gull was pulling, what I believe is a beached shark, apart. There was a pretty strong wind and storm the night before and a lot of things had washed up overnight.

Excellent work.
Great if somewhat gruesome capture
