Reflecting Seagull

An adolescent Ring-billed seagull, sporting adult plumage on his torso and wings while juvenile spotted plumage still adorns his head, stands at the shoreline and studies the waves' ebb and flow. The mirror-like surface of wet sand at the bird's feet displays his reflection. Occupying a beach that is the border between earth and ocean, the adolescent seagull also inhabits a moment in time that is the threshold between his immaturity and his adulthood.
