The largest of our gulls,  the great black-back, with his powerful, vulture-like beak, deals death to anything weak or wounded on sea or shore.  There is nothing he will not eat in the flesh line.  He is very wary, but curiosity is his undoing sometimes, and if not previously shot at, the dodge of throwing out a lure on the water seldom fails to bring him in range.

Condition is Very Good.
