A foot long octopus washed up on the beach and was consumed about equally time wise by sanderlings, the GBH, brown pelican and ring-billed gull. It was a surprisingly orderly process as each species got its favorite parts or the leftovers. Needless to say, I was entertained.

Fabulous capture Bob, down to the drip at the end of it's beak. Is that a just eaten fish in it's gullet?
