Trash Seagull
11/9/08
A very non-flattering photo of a seagull going through a dumpster near my house. It was pretty funny to watch, because he kept trying to pick up this cup, but it was hard to reach, so he kept falling in. Then he'd fly back out and stand on the edge and try again. When he finally did pick the cup up, a small piece would break off and the rest would fall back into the dumpster. I did see him eat a greasy piece of paper in between cup attempts.
I watched this for about 5 minutes before I decided one of the photos I took probably came out OK. For all I know he's still out there rooting through the trash...
