[AT] [JDAT] Slightly OT: horse drawn implements

[charlie hill]

Speaking of hawks, I have always been amazed by the sea gulls.  Our farm is 
near the coast but far enough inland that sea gulls are not hanging around. 
In fact you never see one over at the farm until someone starts plowing or 
chiseling farm land.  Then within a few mintues they show up in dozens or 
hundreds to pluck the juicy grubs turned up by the plow.  It is amazing to 
me how they know and how they get there so fast.
