I took this picture last weekend at the WalMart parking lot on the west side of Nashville. Yes, they are seagulls. In Nashville. I am thinking they did not get the memo regarding we are a landlocked state! I first started noticing seagulls near a mall in Antioch maybe 10 years ago. Since then, I've seen them in several parking lots across the city. I have no idea why they're here. Or why they frequent the mall.
We do have rivers (this parking lot is not far from a river, but I don't think there's any water near the mall in Antioch), but that's not quite up to par with the sea. Trust me, I'm a water baby and I love the ocean.
Honestly, I think they have migrated here just to confuse me. Conspiracy. After 10 years of questioning my own sanity, I decided to stalk a flock and take some pictures for evidence. When I got just a bit closer (after taking this picture) they flew off in a windstorm of flapping wings and noisy squawks. They all went over to Lowe's and started diving at vehicles in the equipment rental lot. Freaky.
Psssst. Seagulls! The ocean . . . go east!
