The lake at Middle Creek Wildlife Refuge is still mostly frozen, which is keeping the numbers down a bit on the migration of snow geese and tundra swans.  While watching the activity yesterday afternoon, I noticed some gulls flying overhead.  One gull landed on the ice, found a small opening and began ‘fishing’.  He was poking his beak in and out of the water to get the attention of the fish below.  After a few minutes, he caught one and pulled it up onto the ice.  The fish was almost as big as the gull!  We watched as he happily had his lunch.  Meanwhile, another gull was flying around with his eye on the fish.  Before long, he swooped down and stole it away from gull #1 and found a spot further out on the lake where he could enjoy his ‘catch’.  Hey guys….can’t we all just live together happily and share?!  🙂
