A seagull finds the mother lode by Mission Bay in San Diego… an loaf of bread in a plastic bag.

A crow stops to watch, and maybe see if he can get in on the action.

The seagull get the bag open.

Another seagull approaches.

They are joined by another gull, and they begin to flex their muscles… which, I’m sure, would be more impressive without all those feathers in the way.

Things begin to get a little heated.

The strutting and posturing commences.

Another gull, and things escalate. It is now a full-blown brouhaha.

More gulls arrive… and some pigeons. Pigeons are the innocent bystanders of the bird world.

It becomes an actual skirmish.

One seagull makes a break for it with the entire loaf!

And it just went downhill from here. Please join me later for the exciting conclusion.
