We've been busy with sea star surveys this week, but I couldn't help taking a quick photo of these two Western Gulls (Larus occidentalis) fighting over an Ochre Sea Star (Pisaster ochraceus).
The gull on the left was trying to swallow the sea star when gull on the right flew in and started pulling on one of the sea star's rays. (If you're wondering, the second gull was eventually successful at pulling the sea star away from the first.)
