Outnumbered
I know that this is a poor quality shot, but I wanted to share it, anyway. This was at Tom McCall Waterfront Park today. Someone was out throwing big pieces of bread for the birds (I know, it's bad for them, but it certainly draws a crowd...). Many (dozens) of gulls and a few mallards were surrounding the perpetrator. I was some distance away, on my walk; I heard a ruckus start, and saw this mallard drake with a big piece of bread, followed closely by a large flock of gulls. He did a few diversionary tactics, and ended up over the water, where he was nearly overtaken, at which time he dropped the bread, and the gulls fought among themselves to retrieve it.
