Oh fer gawd's sake Thom... I've grown up with gulls... I've hand raised 2
nestlings swept off a rock island in a storm. There are more of them now
than ever before in history.

....and don't be so presumptuous as to tell me where to look. I swear the
way that post read is that you assume I've never bothered to take a look at
what's around me. I sail in Nova Scotia Thom.... it's got a much longer
history of sail and men who went to sea. I've commercial fished here. I know
the damn ocean!

Scotty is not about to tell me anything about sailing..... I'll do as I
please and when it suits me.

CM,

Maybe you should listen to Scott when you sail. Look around you and see
what is taking place. Get your face out of the mug!

One of the Joys of sailing is watching the Gulls. "Jonaston Seagull" is
a story about Gulls. They can be a exercise in watching beautity when
they are soaring; as well as a pain in the ass when they are ****ting on
your boat. They are a very smart bird. You can learn a lot from watching
them. When they soar very high they will drift with the prevailing
winds. A very easy way for them to get away from an incoming storm. Just
might help you sometime.

i never really noticed, but...since my kids were asking me & i
hadn't a clue why....will one find seagulls across the country?

ie: @ dumps? we never lived far from the ocean, so it was funny
to see and hear them here in colorado..??

Finer advice has never been given.

Scott,

Don't let it go to your head. I've been proven wrong many times :^) The
last election is a good example (G)

Different brand of seagull.
Look at a bird book and you'll learn to spot the subtle differences. Also
those dirty grayish gulls are the young. Takes about 4 years to mature.
