Glaucous Winged Gull Flipping Red Rock Crab
The gull dispatched the crab pretty promptly. He flipped the crab onto it's back and then ripped off the legs. One he had leg holes, he ripped open the shell and ate the body of the crab. John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2021 to 2005 > April 2015 > Glaucous Winged Gull Flipping Red Rock Crab

This was a surprise for me - Around Vancouver we generally get Northwestern Crows, but this is an American crow (slightly larger). The way I can tell them apart is by the hair on their nose. Species: Corvus brachyrhynchos (American Crow)

Sitting Puffed Up
Given that he was in the sitting phase of his day, he really was quite animated. I thought at this point he would get up and fly away, but he just moved a bit and continued with napping. Species: Bubo virginianus (Great Horned Owl)
