Yuck. Seagulls have rather nasty beaks themselves, your report surprised me.

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!
