Are you sure? so far inland? We have them here, but we're just an hour away from the coast.

Also, I zoomed in on the picture a little closer, and they don't look aerodynamic enough to be seagulls.
In fact I'm surprised they can fly at all! :-?

Flying pixel gulls. :D More than likely, they are compression artifacts. At least that is all we can see of them. They may have been gulls at one time. The photo looks to have been heavily compressed before it was loaded on the web, and the camera is from 2000 at the latest. Just download the original pic and go to work on the white spots. They spoil the rest of it, anyway.

I assumed that someone had scanned an old fashioned 5x7 print of a
photograph, and there was a little dust on the scanner or on the print.
That's what I always get when I scan photos.

They're actually flying monkeys in their white (summer) plumage.

That could have been it, also. :oops:

Eek! It's the deadly "white boxes"!!! There must be an Iranian speedboat hiding in that cloud!!!!
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

That's a new term for me-- could you put up an example?
