Over the weekend, the intrepid New York City photographer Katie Dooley inexplicably found herself on the Brooklyn side of the East River. Armed with her Canon EOS Digital Rebel Xti with the Canon - 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens, she was able to capture these amazing images of a sea gull enjoying a moment of repose in a hectic environment.

Says Katie about this photo:

I’ve been pooped on by a sea gull at least twice. The funny thing about these dirty birds is that the same gull that trashes a beautiful beach can snazz up any old city dump with the sounds and sights of vacation.

Well said, Dooley. And by all means, keep the beautiful photos coming.
