Hello Tweeters.
Despite the News what was put on Tweeters yesterday,that Simpson dont want
enough one using this parking Lot because of high traffic.There wasn't
enyone there today,i was there at 8.00 am and saw the Iceland Gull around
9.00AM with a dozen other birders joining me.
The way i saw this Gull today was realy surprising,he seems peppy and
attact the other Gulls viogrously when we fed this bird.At one time he got
to the point to bite the other gull ,no gull came near this gull,his
feathers was standing up on his back, this like on Dogs when there try to
attack.I also saw the Gull going on to the beach feeding something like
worms and something. The way i saw this gull today,he can maybe survive
with this broken wing , but could be fallen prey to a predator.
There is no trouble with the people there on the gate to going in to the
parking lot at all, there verry supporting birders seeing this Gull.He
choose to be mostly beeing alone or on the beach with the Mallard Ducks and
Canada Goose. He doesn't associate with any other Gulls.We had a group of
nice birders there today,and i realy enjoyed seeing you all.How about
feedig this beautiful invalid Iceland Gull
some fresh Salmon??????
