The Guardian Gull #1

Description
From quite a distance away, up high in the tallest spruce tree overlooking Seagull Rock I could see a speck of white. I thought it could be a bald eagle so I steered my boat towards the white spot. To my surprise it was an adult seagull looking down on the juvenile seagulls mulling around on their namesake rock. I thought this was quite strange as I had never seen a seagull up in the top of the tree like this. The seagull started to squawk, I looked in the direction the gull was looking and spotted another larger white head in the top part of a pine tree on another island. Story continued on the Watchful Eagle image.
