Herring Gull With Dinner

While walking the trail in Alton Baker Park, I saw a bunch of seagulls making a commotion alongside the stream that runs through park. I was curious to know what the uproar was all about. When I got to a point across the stream, I could see that one of them had a fish that it didn't want to share with the others. Looks like a pretty big fish for a seagull to handle.

1/500s f/8.0 at 400.0mm iso200 full exif
