In truth, Im realistic in the estimate of my seagull Bills real depth of affection in the relationship. Its all about eating. Hes domesticating me as much as I am him (or her : big androgynous factor). That said, Ive always been fascinated by getting animals in the wild to eat out of my hand; the patience and slow interplay involved interest me. Also it interests me, the degree of attention paid by the animal in the equation. At this point, pretty much anytime I wander out on the dock, Bill (Billie?) shows up. Im curious if he tracks me further, like when I stroll off down the street. I know crows are suprisingly astute in this realm. A research team at UW did extensive studies of crow/human interface, and found them remarkable observant. Here is a seagull painting I did some thirty years ago, combined with the latest shot of the feathered friend in question. What a fine, proud specimen.
