Every once in a while we have a strange bird drop by the feeders.

We’re not near the beach, though our property does back up on a large river.

But this wayward traveler spotted the woodchuck buffet and decided to munch.

You really don’t want to encourage a seagull.

Before long one will become twelve and your backyard will resemble a landfill, with a dozen squawking birds fighting (and pooping) everywhere.
So after a few quick pics for blogging purposes, I went outside and shoo’d him off.

Or so I thought.
Because when I turned around to go inside…

He’d taken up a recon position.

Seagulls don’t play.

As much as I like every bird, I do agree with not encouraging the seagull. Because my experience when I was last down at a beach when it came to a seagull wasn’t a very good experience.

I had one steal a sandwich right out of my hand. They’re fearless.

Yes. I had the same experience. I hadn’t even managed to take a bite of my sandwich and the other went on the floor, along with my hot drink.

Mind you. I say as much as I like every bird. Maybe I ought to exclude the seagull. Because I am not a fan of them in the same way as I used to.

My wife was amazed to see a seagull when we moved here, 1000 miles from the nearest ocean, so I took her to the dump for birdwatching.
I discovered one more damaged item from our baseball-sized hail. The louvers at the end of the duct from our bathroom exhaust fan were damaged. A bird family moved in this weekend.

Ugh. We had that problem for years. Starlings nested in our vent no matter how many ways we tried to block it.
