That is a fuckin' cool shot, man!
Reminds me of a mockingbird I shot in the ass with my brand new pellet gun when I was a kid.
I saw it on a branch about 20 ft. in front, and about 10 ft. above of me.
I take aim at its' chest and right when I squeezed the trigger it turned around and I hit it in the ass.
It took off, did a 180° turn and zeroed in on me like with your bird, fly, and came right at me.
It scared the bejeezus out of me and I kinda panicked.
I let out a sort of squawk and tried to duck and swing the gun at the same time but all I did was hit myself in the leg when the gun slipped.
The bird missed me and flew into the bushes where it was lost to me.
I never fired at another bird after that.
Those gulls are a tough breed. I saw one in Galveston with only one leg.
We would throw crackers to them and it would get in there and scramble for his share. It says a lot about their spirit the way they overcome difficulties.
Thanks for the great shot, fly.
