Larus argentatus
Herring gull on the sand bar between Chebeague and Little Chebeague.
nice spotting!
How clever! I've seen crows do that with mollusks but not gulls!
They pick up mussels and then drop them from up high in hopes they will break when they land.
Is he dropping shellfish to break them open I wonder?
