A squabble of white seagulls dance and twine with v-shaped wings aflutter in the breeze; above the ocean's whitecap-wave design, they greet the day with joyful calls that please. With v-shaped wings aflutter in the breeze, creating whirling patterns that unfold, they greet the day with joyful calls that please- squawks echoing- united, loud, and bold. Creating whirling patterns that unfold, they mesmerize with flutters of their wings- squawks echoing- united, loud, and bold, while hunting food amid their gatherings. They mesmerize with flutters of their wings above the ocean's whitecap-wave design, while hunting food amid their gatherings- a squabble of white seagulls dance and twine.
