Years back, I walked out my back door just in time to see a Grackle swoop by with a Sparrow in its claws.
Luckily for the Sparrow, my shriek of anger made the Grackle drop it.
Gulls are rats with wings.
They’ll eat anything.
Years ago we were camping at June Lake. Shirley was grilling steaks on the Coleman. She turned her back for a second and a gull swooped in and tried to fly away with a steak. She was able to shoo him away before he got airborne.
I watched a murder of crows torturing a robin once, but it was within the margin of error for AGW. I am sure it was in 2012 plus or minus 30 years or thereabouts. Although I do not have the data set or the stratospheric temperature graph for the day, it was a hot day. I know that affirmatively since the robin had shed much of his feathers, and its skin seem to be damaged by UV rays.
