North Beach, Fort DeSoto - January 17, 2015

This herring gull had decided that dropping a shell containing a hermit crab would get the crab to come out.  I have never seen one do this before, although I saw crows do it on TV.  I think all the crab got was the large arm of the crab, which it probably gave voluntarily.  I think that worked out for both of them.
