Owl, Trap and Mouse
Owl, Mouse and MousetrapMy co-author, Scott Weston, captured an incredible prey capture on his owl cam. The whole story is…
Walt Staab passed along this recent photo sequence of a Great Black-backed Gull at meal-time.
I think the gull shopped at the same place as Tuesday's mink…
If anyone would like to I.D. the entree….
(Thanks, Walt!)
Thanks again, Sally.
Thanks for identifying the meal, Glenn. i do not recall seeing a fish like this before. Interesting is that the gull sat on the water and did not dive for the fish. It just waited for it to swim within striking distance and grabbed it.
Yes this magnificent black backed gull,s meal is the Hoboken Yellow tail perch
Great pic
