I arrived about 4:30 and there were any number of birders there, but
alas no Slaty-backed gull. We did however have some Eagle fly throughs,
which put up all the gulls, it looked like a snow globe. One of the
Eagles caught a gull and proceeded to eat it (while it was still alive)
on one of the closer in posts. I know that there are many birders,
including myself that enjoy seeing bird behavior as much as the birds,
but all I can say is Euueeww!
