"We just got back from a few days at a motel in Fundy National  Park . We w=
ere sitting watching golfers at the last green  on the lovely  course  at A=
lma . There is an apple tree there and about nine apples were  on the groun=
d  . Over just a few minutes we watched six Herring Gulls fly  in and land =
beside the apples . They all systematically skewered  each  apple into smal=
ler pieces and then ate them --- all ! Not a scrap of apple was  left . "

I've personally not witnessed this before.  I therefore would be interested=
 in hearing from anyone who has seen this. =20
