you are right about their prey, which will also include rodents, small
birds, and bullfrogs. i've photographed them lunching on voles at
ridgefield and, at juanita bay park, a norway rat and an incredible attempt
at a full-grown salmon (

like crows and gulls, they are nothing if not opportunistic and catholic in
their tastes.
