Glaucous-winged Gull & berries Andrea Warner 8/29/13

Yesterday and today there was a Glaucous-winged Gull (juvenile) eating the berries from our Red Twig bushes. I watched it from about 10 feet away as I was moving bark. It was totally unfazed by my activity as it carefully picked around to find the white berries.

Most interesting to watch - has anyone else ever seen this behavior? Note - "Plants of the Pac/NW Coast" list the berries as bitter and inedible.
