Digging for moles

In early March I mentioned that it was a big year for mole crabs (review that post here).

A variety of gulls have been taking advantage of this prey source.

Most recently, on 27 June 2015, I watched California Gulls (Larus californicus) and Heermann's Gulls (Larus heermanni) feeding on mole crabs at Salmon Creek Beach.  Below are a couple of pictures of each (California first, then Heermann's).
