It took a long time to get used to hearing and seeing seagulls every day. Interestingly, we see and hear fewer of them at our new place than we did a few blocks further east. You'd think it would be the other way around because we're closer to the lake than we used to be. seagull

Later I found out they are Steller's Jays. Read more here Steller's Jay
