HUMAN'S EYE VIEW OF SEAGULLS


Seagulls pepper the Seattle waterfront sky. They have no air traffic controller...and yet you never hear on the 6 o' clock news about a midair collision between two or more seagulls, one of whom might have ingested a Red Robin napkin saturated with the remnants from a margarita cocktail glass. No, in some ways, seagulls are smarter than we humans who daily get into freeway collisions and other mishaps. Maybe that's why seagulls soar on jetstreams high above the cityscape...they're watching us on their bird's eye view version of the 6 o' clock news.
