Breakfast

Southern Vancouver Island

The gulls were in for a feast, generous fishermen left the carcasses of fish they had caught and cleaned on the beach for the birds. Two eagles were feeding on them shortly before I took this shot, but disappeared as soon as I got close to the beach ...darn!! Herring Gull facts: Herring gulls are omnivores, although food from the sea is their main diet, especially during the breeding season. One trick they have is to drop molluscs and crabs from a height to break their shells on the rocks. Fishing boats are often followed by a flock of gulls hoping to feed on any scraps or small fish thrown overboard. ~ Helium

Shame about the missed eagles, but still a great shot!
