Four calling birds showed up at our local shopping center just as the Christmas rush got underway.
They speak of the sea, but if they be seagulls, they're a few hundred miles off course; more likely they're inland-wintering Ring-billed gulls lured in by the promise of the Golden Arches just across the way...
They hardly seem to share Joni Mitchell's disdain for pavement and parking lots;
in fact, it would only take one sympathetic burger-bearing stranger to transform this chilly, barren wasteland into a paradise worthy of Jimmy Buffett.
At the moment, however, these aerial buccaneers would probably be thrilled just to snatch a few french fried potatoes...
