Here is a flock of endangered species. Some birds breed in flocks, at least in part to avoid predation. The same massive gull flock that would bring tears of joy to the eyes of some birders (indeed, this flock contained both Iceland and Slaty-backed Gulls ) strikes fear into the hearts of others. Buldir Island, AK.
