People have taught them that that is OK. Watch at the beach … they come quickly when people rattle food wrappers, and are usually rewarded. Alfred Hitchcock’s movie was a little TOO real. However on Boggy Creek, hough it is tidal at the point where I took the photo, I did not see any gulls. Hawks, herons, birds too quick to see clearly, other water birds, and woods dwellers, but no gulls. The gulls were probably in the parking lots of near by towns. I’ve never seen a gull in the woods. ????
Could be. I was thinkinf of their flight style, and they do sight fish. Can’t do that with foliage. Dunno for sure. I haven’t observed them enough to know the why of their habits, nor have I read up on it.
Ha! There are plenty of tasty wading birds left uneaten. ???? But I’m sorta glad gulls are not everywhere. They make too much ruckus and I don’t like my for sandwiches to have bird spit on them. Actually I think there is just not enough for crowds of them to eat, the way that they eat, in the woods or in fresh water. And you are right … that is natural selection.

It is peaceful, movie or not, so long as people stay out of the water.

It is the things that bite that keep people out of this water, including alligators, gar fish, snapping turtles, cotton mouths and more …

Gulls are underestimated. One tried to seize a sandwich right out of my hands once. 😉

Interesting that gulls don’t go in the woods. Maybe they need the horizon.
