>> Ive had much better luck with dragonflies landing on my kayak, but no birds. I saw a seagull try to drop something on me once though, and a short-eared owl nearly landed on my dog's back once. I will not rest until I find that seagull. ;-) When I used to paddle at _______ in Washington, I would rescue drowning insects and put them on the yak to dry out. Grasshoppers are fun-they will crawl to the bow of the boat and stand sentry at the tip like a watchful hood ornament.

I have heard that they sometimes hang out around the grain terminals in Duluth to feed on mice. They are very striking birds (no pun intended).
