I've never seen anything eat mice like these seagulls! The guy taking off our hay has his implements rigged up so that the tractor tires are always flattening the cut hay. As you can imagine, this also flattens a lot of mice.

Incredible flying skills and garbage guts. Oh yeah, remember the coyote in the back barn? Bill saw a little one in the field today, gnawing on an old shoe. Even coyote puppies need chew toys, I guess.
