The California Gull is the most common bird now seen in City Birds Country, the Heart of San Francisco.  Flying over the City from one coast to another, they seldom land to scavenge food anymore.  This gull landed late one afternoon in hope of a handout.  We had nothing to offer and, at any rate, feeding the bird would be illegal in San Francisco.

The bird understanding no food was to be found quietly took off as seen in this picture.
