is cold


Frosh pond freezeth over!

How intelligent are gulls? are they like crows who have a concept of play? Because today on the pond I saw one juvenile 'playing' with a piece of ice. it would pick it up, drop it with a satisfying clang and then scoot around pushing the ice with it's beak. Repeat over and over again. It looked exactly like avian ice-hockey, and by the time i left, there was a crowd of spectators large enough to gladden it's little gull heart.

lovely, the way you liken the spectators' happiness to a gull's heart, cause we ARE talking about birds.
