Crab Feast - A Natural Drama

I was taking a photo of this Glaucous-Winged Gull on a piling at the Jericho Boating Club in Vancouver, with downtown Vancouver in the background. Just then, the gull spotted a crab in the water and flew down to catch it. It then swam to the beach carrying it, still wriggling, threw it down in the sand, then pummeled it to death and enjoyed his tasty snack. He ignored the sign telling him that the crab was too small and should have been thrown back.
