What?s that gull saying? Scientists think they know what gulls are talking about -- sometimes.

https://www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-magazine/listen-gull-calls/


How interesting!  The article said: "Bald eagles are the Glaucous-winged gulls? biggest nemesis and predator, eating eggs, chicks and adults."

I don't know if the gulls we see on the flyway cam are Glaucous-winged or not, but they seem to coexist alright with the bald eagles there.

Fascinating (and funny) story!  I had no idea there were so many species of eagles around the world!

Hawk Can't Understand Why This Little 'Bunny' Isn't Scared Of Him

https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/hawk-cant-understand-why-this-little-bunny-isnt-scared-of-him/ar-AAIZhNz



I posted the same clip on Oct. 18th!

Just caught this on msn.com.  Hilarious footage of a hawk that saw what he thought was an easy dinner sitting under a tree.  Little did he know that the plump little bunny was actually a lawn ornament!
