Yes.  I have successfully used this technique for an
injured seagul.  It was mooching around a waterfront
cafe.  I baited it to my feet with french fries, then
scooped it up with an old towel.  Thats all I had
handy at the time, but it worked.  I was amazed how
easy this was.

I never did see the Cormorant I posted about in the
previous message again, even though I paddle in the
same area frequently.  I suspect that it may have
become fox food.
