Couple Ravens enjoying a fish...

We didn't know Ravens were such accomplished ice fishers...they're not, but they are accomplished thieves. We missed that drama, but caught this one:

The seagull decided it wanted breakfast, but was initially rebuffed.

The ravens got a little distracted and the seagull made its play.

It took the fish and then inexplicably dropped it into the water.

Then told the raven all about it. We don't speak bird, but it seemed to be a rather animated telling.

The seagull had second thoughts about the plan, dove, and retrieved the fish.

And then let it fall to the bottom again. We don't think bird, either.
And the ravens, frustrated, wandered off. As did the seagull some time later.
