I was going to ask, “Do you see that in Alabama?” but then I read the caption.
Did you stop in at the Hotel Del? It’s very picturesque itself. The primary shooting location for a film I adore called “The Stunt Man”, I made sure to visit it on at least on San Diego trip.
@Jay L Gischer: Actually, it is something one could see on the AL coast.
And yes, this was right by the hotel. A lovely place! I have been to San Diego many times, mostly many years ago, but this was my first time on the island.
Wonderful.

Of course, waterfowl are good too.
Outstanding!
Ahh, there’s nothing like a bird photo. Great capture of the of the wing primaries and secondaries. Look like a first year California Gull
It looks to be starting a takeoff run.
Most birds just up and fly, but some larger ones need added air speed. They run and flap their wings before they can fly, essentially a takeoff run.
