Birds in the surf..

[BrownDogWilson]

This is not that big of a deal.....but I thought it was kind of different. These birds were flying about a foot off the water,,,I didn't photoshop them in,,,I wonder what this guy was thinking..

I think it might be Momentum that has the closing credits of birds whizzing around the lineup in the evening.

Lol, I know but that first snap DOES look 'shopped, doesnt it? But I can belive the second one, weird stuff!

I'd guess at some kind of tern?

we get seagulls here, hnot in flocks liek that but usually individually, they ride along in front of the waves, i guess they can ride the updraft of air as the wave moves along. They dont do any tricks tho, just cruise in a straight line along in front of the curl, kinda like airborne longboarders.

we have some big seabird that likes to glide really low and scare the xxxxx out of surfers ih hawaii too...

I am from the same area as BDW and can attest to the fact birds that fly that low over the water at many local beaches.

[gdude335]

birds do fly really low, i think the picture isnt photoshoped even if it looks like it.

I have seen pelicans do that a few times

Yeah. It happens all the time here. Talk about big birds.

Two seagulls flew across in front of me yesterday about 2 inches off the water, when i was paddling for a wave. I thought then that it looked really cool.

a few weesk ago there were dead pigeons floating in the water at b'mouth, i always did wonder why it was called pigeon until then

There's got to be some turbulence caused by the wave that gives them lift kind of like a thermal would.

I've seen seagulls on Puget Sound follow in the "wake" just above a ferry and go clear across without flapping their wings once.
