Look for something in the center in the first photo and zoom in. Then look at the second which is the actual photo is was taken from to give a sense of scale.

Some sort of Sea Bird (gull ?)

Actually, you're correct. But these are photos taken directly after each other. I had to zoom out to get the scale and then zoom in to get the closer shot. Took about an hour to capture a gull right in the middle. It's probably a little after 8 AM. This is just off of the parking lot on the American side, believe it or not. It was winter so no one else was around.

100%. It's a full sized 5-6 foot wingspan seagull, possibly a Glaucus Gull which is 2.5 feet from beak to tail. To me, the scale here is mind boggling. You can look at a stone in the middle of the waves and not realize it's 20 - 40 feet across. The size of the waves is hard to grasp as well. This was taken at Niagara Falls from the American side looking over to Canada. Most people always say, "The Canadian side is better." Yeah, no. I couldn't disagree more and these photo shows it. There is another area on the American side to the right of where I took this which has stairs down where you can get below the falls a bit and get amazing shots but you'll be all covered in mist. In the winter (when I took these photos), it's an ice trap and not recommended unless you enjoy serious bodily injury. The American side is much more fun to explore IMO, serious bodily harm or not.

Oh, and if you look at the top middle right of the first pic, you can see the water falling off of the Canadian side above where the water falls off of the American side. If I'm correct, this is Horseshoe Falls where if we were to look to the left, we'd see the American side continue along and then join over to the Canadian side. It's a big big big slow curve but looks like two long straight edges from this angle.

You are right.
Some like to post one photo at the time.
And make comment on each.
And perhaps to ‘earn’ a higher score ?
