Bird Man of Bar Harbor
So this afternoon I am sitting out on the porch eating gold fish crackers and reading a mystery novel when this beautiful gull lands 2 feet from me on the railing of the deck. I guess my sitting out here the past few days stuffing myself and sunning have attracted them. I think the lobster shells I threw them the other night didn't hurt either.
Well I throw the gull a few crackers and it goes nuts gobbling them up. Then it flies to just a few feet below the deck on the rocks. I got the camera out to use up the last of my pictures, and in that time two other gulls had joined the first. I got some cute shots of them. That helped alleviate some of the boredom. LOL
Honestly I am loving the freedom of this vacation but in some ways I am a little too under-stimulated. I am still craving a man like a bitch in heat. I practically stand at the dock rail and mew at any single, attractive man that pass by on bikes on the shore road. I so need to get laid!
OMG! In just sitting here writing this, the gull came back and landed a few feet away and just stared at me, waiting to be fed! I think I have broken some kind of nature conservancy law. LOL I threw him a few more goldfish and in that time 5 more gulls showed up. They even got into a pecking order fight! This is great! Though I should be careful so as not to domesticate them.
I am pleased though at how they have taken to me. I have managed to lure a few of them from the neighboring vacant dock over here. They just stand guard like my personal sentinels. Is this what big city separation does to a man?
And just on a side observation I think the gulls (at least the one that seems to be my new faithful disciple) REALLY like Janis Ian's classic album Between The Lines. What can I say he has good taste! I have influenced the evolution of nature!
