MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Folks, Today I took my college-bound son down to St. Mary's to see the campus there, and on our way home we stopped for some crab soup at the Seabreeze Restaurant in Sandgates. As soon as we pulled into the parking area we could see "Shrimpy" sitting on one of the pilings close to the restaurant. While I ate my meal, I watched the bird move from piling to piling, scattering and returning with the other gulls (and Forster's Terns), and also sitting on the water. The jet black mantle and yellow legs of this gull are distinctive.
