Ring-billed Gull...  the other, OTHER white meat?  Pretty impressive I think for this Snowy to catch a Gull for lunch.  Such a brief show for me, work beckoned.  But so worth it to see.  Shots are cropped quite a bit.

Snowy took carcass in talons and bounced with it closer to the post next to her.  Good tenderizing tactic?


Ummm.  What can I say?  Sorry to the squeamish?  


Taking a break.

A birth certificate shows we were born.  A death certificate shows we died.  Pictures show we live.

Thanks everyone!

If this is the last Snowy I see and try to photograph for the winter; sure ended off with a bang!  So neat to see one doing something besides "chilling out".
