Camouflage? We call them Sea Gulls in California.

Actually where I come from we called them Dump Eagles.

I liked the way this one kind of blended in with the sand though. Until it stood up I didn't see it.

Their fair game and thought good eating in Norway. At least the young ones are. Honest!

Seriously? I would have thought that based on the theory that You Are What You Eat, they'd taste garbage-y or too fishy.

For real . . . or at least that's what a former email correspondent of mine said. In Norway they'll hunt and eat nearly anything, from what he said. They even consider seals game animals and go crawl across the ice to shoot them the way the Inuit do. He did say, though, that only the young gulls were any good. The old ones were, indeed, too fishy.

Sea birds in general are gamey and tough, northern ones even more so. I was alway told to avoid scavenger birds as they can harbor some seriously dangerous bacteria types.

I'd need to be REALLY hungry to go for KFG.

Ewwwww! Now I can't ever walk into KFC without thinking that! Damn you!

(Well I might as well go all the way and bring up Colonel Sandpiper then! )

Only one species of shorebird is legal these days but back in the Golden Age of market hunting, sandpipers and such were considered the absolute cream of wild game and pretty much reserved for the wealthy and expensive restaurants. Today only woodcock qualify and they still are a connoiseur's choice. Hard to hit, too.
