The Seagull's Story

Some people associate seagulls with strip malls and scavenging. I've always had a soft spot for the bird. When I see a seagull I can't help but think of fishing boats making their way back to the pier with a cloud of gulls following or slightly too confident birds trying to sneak up to your picnic on the beach. 

In this recent article by the NY Times, gulls are celebrated and researched and they are quite a lot smarter than we think.
