Greetings,

I'm still trying to figure this one out. Sunday I stopped for a few minutes along the Port Orchard waterfront to watch the tide go out and the birds come in to the emerging sandbar. After about 20 minutes there were about 20 G W Gulls, some Mallard pairs, one female Merganzer and three Mew Gulls. All at once they all exploded into the air so I quickly looked skyward (Carol Schulz taught me that) to watch the im. Bald Eagle cruise slowly over the scene. When I looked back down, everyone was gone EXCEPT the three Mews. They were still searching the surf for goodies. What I want to know is: Are they dumber than the rest of the birds,...or smarter?

Any ideas from the Gull folks out there?
