Jeffery the Gull - Comments

Hi folks, Jeffery here with ya!
With some experimenting, I have found that a slight "temporary" modification to some local signs can increase food giving up to 25%.
I have gotta be the smartest gull on the lakes.

From Jeffery the Gull,

So, just my luck, dinner is canceled for today. Well, better to be safe than sorry.  Don't worry about me, I'm going to spruce my feathers up a bit after the rain and finish off an old rotten herring I spotted over on the break wall.

I need to watch my weight anyway -- until tomorrow!

I really am the best-looking gull on the lakes, don't you think!

Yahoo! it's the 4th of July!

Hi folks - Jeffery the gull here.

Well, the big day has finally arrived when the humans around here gather in Bayfront Park for a chance buy all kinds of food to feed us gulls.

I invite all my friends from as far away as Two Harbors to join me for supper. Here are some good ways to get the humans to feed us:

1. Fly up from behind small children and scare them a bit -- the popcorn scatters and everyone has a good laugh.
2. Land and walk in front of a person with food squawking as you go.  The person thinks you are starving and always throws you food.
3. Find a person sitting on a bench eating. land directly in front of them and stare directly into their eyes.  They feel guilty and throw you some food.
4. In a coordinated flight pattern, fly close enough to just steal the food out of their hand.  They seem to like it and go and get more.
5. Sit on a railing and wait for someone to take a selfie. They usually put their food down and give you a chance to steal it.
6. If all else fails, a sure thing is to fake a broken wing and drag along the ground a bit.  the people feel sorry and throw you the best of their food.  Ha! what fun.

Just a few tips for my friends.

Have a good 4th and make sure a gull isn't flying overhead, we live up here ya know. Last year I had a close call with a bottle rocket, singed a few feathers.

America The Beautiful!

July 4th Camera Operation:

Fireworks: Scheduled to go off at 22:10 Wednesday.  (depending on the weather)

The best view will be from the Hillside cam.  I will be using it to pan the FourthFest activities in Bayfront Park and the Harbor in general.

If the internet starts getting bogged down, I will temporarily disconnect some cameras that use the same internet feed.

Have a happy and safe 4th of July!

So much to be thankful for!

A note from Jeffery

Hi Folks, Jeffery the Gull here.  My (human) friend Sylvia who lives in Germany, sent Den, the old guy that runs this site for me,  a note the other day.  Here it is.

Hi Den,

it's a funny story about me and the seagulls. I have been living near Hamburg, Germany's biggest port, for more than 50 years now and there are many herring gulls around in this area but I never went wild about them.

This abruptly changed when I discovered your great harbor cams in 2017 - much too late.
I was sitting there in front of my laptop, soaking in one of those fantastic Duluth sunrises and then fate took its course. One of these awesome birds popped in right into my heart.

So that's my gull story and I think you should know...I somehow can't live without them and the ships coming into Duluth anymore.
Jeffery is a perfect name for this handsome guy!

Thanks again for all you do for me.

Sylvia from Germany

Sylvia made this nice collage of me -- aren't I handsome!

Jeffery the Gull -- Comments

Hay folks, there goes the Vista Fleet -- I love the fresh fish fillets when I can steal a few bits off the upper deck when no one is looking!

Alpena arrived Duluth 07/01/18

Comments from Jeffery The Gull

Hi folks, I'm Jeffery the gull and I'll be your guide today. What you see here is a fleet of boats gathering for an afternoon cruise. 

I love when these boats go out because if I fly over them and act cute, the people will throw me some of their food, and it ain' just popcorn like those cheap people over at the canal.
Well, gotta spruce up a bit and look my best.

Have a good visit to the harborcams.  See ya around.
