Food To Go

Southern Vancouver Island

Success! This gull found a mussel and was off to enjoy his snack. Gull facts: To break open the shells of their prey — like mussels and clams — gulls drop them from high in the air to hard surfaces below. They also harass other birds, forcing them to regurgitate or drop their catch, which the gulls quickly gobble up. ~ monteraybayaquarium.com

Love the action - would like to see the mussels lightened a little to see the details and the white on the tail is a blown out.
