On my off day today I was out on my bike riding down the beach path, enjoying the brief sun through the thick cloud cover, when I noticed a sea gull with an object in its beak.
It flew to a height of twenty feet or so with the object still in its beak, flew to a spot directly above the concrete path, and dropped the object.
I watched this entire thing, and it was cool. The object was a mussel, and it broke on the concrete.
The gull swooped down after it, snatched it up, and took off.
As I passed the spot, I smiled and looked around. For the rest of the ride, or for at least the next fifty feet, there were broken shells littered all over the bike trail.
