Mystery

Walking across the Costco parking lot I came across a mystery.
What happened? Did it hit a light pole?
Did it eat something not on the state approved list of sea gull foods?
Was it gull on gull violence?
Stranger danger?
I feel a country song coming on... Not really!
But!!! Do a search "Dead Sea Gull" It's amazing!
Books, photos, even an artist creating Blockchain Art.
You buy it and get to look at it on your computer?
What will they come up with next?
It's an on going Mystery...


It is March 2022? What the hell happened?
M is 4 March

Lots to go wrong out in the wild. Might have been hit by a car, or ate something plastic and it finally caught up with him. Or just dropped dead with no one around to give CPR.

Such a shame for a beautiful bird.
The danger for birds around here are the wind turbines!

Perhaps it would have been safer hanging out with pals by the Strait....

Avian Flu maybe??? https://www.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/spotlights/2021-2022/updated-bird-flu-poses-low-risk.htm
Flu seems to be of some an International concern in 2022: https://www.thedailybeast.com/israel-bird-flu-outbreak-could-be-2022s-deadly-global-pandemic
At least for birds.

So many things could have happened to this poor gull. Life is hard for wild creatures, especially around humans.
