*** READER’S LENS – ONE TIME USE ONLY *** Jim Diers jimdiers@comcast.net Vashon Island, WA (206)355-2111 Vashon Island’s north ferry dock 2023/3/11 As I was waiting for the ferry, I noticed this juvenile Glaucous-winged Gull land nearby with a seastar in its bill. I was amazed to see the gull repeatedly struggle to get its mouth around its unwieldy prey and to swallow it whole. About 15 minutes later, the gull had almost succeeded as I ran to catch the ferry.
