Now it's busy breeding season for many
birds and it's no exception for Black-tailed Gulls [Larus crassirostris].
I've never seen seagull chicks before, even
in the photos, partly it's because I was not interested in them.
Since I became an enthusiastic birder, any
small fact about birds makes me excited. More I pay attention to the detail,
more I get surprised by my ignorance and the wonders of every living thing.
One example showing my ignorance and/or
arrogance is that I did not know there are so many different spieces of
seagulls, pigeons, and sparrows.
Because they are so common and abundant
everywhere, I did not take their existence seriously. I categorized them as
common birds and considered them as boring creatures. What could be special
about them?
But now I know such a conception is
extremely shallow, careless, and impolite.
Although I never observed them with
full attention, I concluded I know everything about them.
Actually I know
nothing.
Not like before, now I am deeply fascinated
by subtle details of feather colors and patterns, shape and color of each body
part, singing patterns, voices, and behaviors.
Everyday I learn something new about birds,
animals, and nature and this learning experience inspires me to stay creative
and alive.
