What do you call a seagull that lives on the bay?

A Bay-Gull (Bagel)!!

So this morning, I was sitting down at John Wayne Marina, enjoying some solitude and listening to a sermon from John Piper (I highly recommend subscribing to his desiringGod podcast on itunes). As I sat and listened I watched the seagulls meadering about and from time to time, attempting to get food. Now, the way they do this: they pick up a clam (or oyster, or pretty much anything in a shell) and fly up high and then drop that shell on the rocks along the shore, hoping to break it open to eat the meat inside. Unfortunately on this beach, the rocks that can be broken against are not close together. That means that the gulls must have excellent aim in order to truly crack open the shell on the rock. Today, I watched one (who looked younger than the others) try repeatedly with his target practice, never able to hit the rock and crack his breakfast open. After what must have been 5 tries, I watched him take his shell allllll the way up to the road and drop it! Success! The shell cracked on the road and he was finally able to chow down (I'm sure he was famished after the hard work to get his breakfast). All that to say, what a resourceful seagull he was, I named him Chet. He may, or may not, be appearing in my book (ha.ha.ha....someday I WILL write it!).
