    AWESOME!!! That’s a brave gull to do something like that.

  • William C. Gla... replied

    Hello Howard,
    Thank you for the very kind words and for adding this image to your favorites…the seagull was very agile and, in time, was rewarded for its bravery with a piece of fish…the osprey kinda gave up and let it have something just so it would go away :-)
