A seagull cracking open a clam. I watched him for a while flying up above some rocks and dropping the clam shell on them.


An interesting seagull optimization problem. The higher the drop, the more likely the shell is to break; on the other hand, the more likely it is that some other seagull will nab it before the original bird can get down from the drop. This, of course, was Seattle, not Orlando; you can tell, just look at the sky.
