Feeding Time

I was reading on the porch outside our room at the St. Ignace Holiday Inn Express when someone decided to feed the gulls. So I whipped out my trusty Treo--the only camera readily at hand--to take this horrible-but-delightful photograph.

The St. Ignace gulls are organized. They post watch-gulls at strategic places, who start hollering when anything interesting happens. Then this happens.

Except the hotel's current management now discourages feeding the birds. Seems some of the customers find the practice, and the noise, offensive.

That's Mackinac Island at an odd angle in the background.
