I saw a seagull in a mall parking lot recently. Big bird.

The odd thing was, the mall is in Denton, TX. It's nowhere near the sea. The closest lake is about an hour away. I wonder what it was doing in the parking lot, all by itself. O_O Stupid bird.

Where there's one, there's more nearby. The ones here are scavenging dumpsters; maybe small animals, etc. They aren't afraid of humans, either. There is a pier at my favorite beach in Ventura county that you can fish from. They sit on the rail like ducks. You can walk within a foot of them and they just sit there.

BUT- when they are around, you know there are fish to be caught:):) OR- they are waiting for someone to catch the fish so they can do a fish-snatching!

Seen seagulls here in Nevada on occasion - usually by the city dump gorging themselves on the goodies.

An advance scout. You should have shot it when you had the chance. Seagulls have no water boundaries anymore, they will fly as far as it takes to find garbage and it looks like they have located a new food source.

Word of warning, if one of those monsters ever craps on you car, wash it off immediately! It will literally eat thru the paint finish.......

When they are not at the ocean, seagulls are at the dump.
