Struggling to eat a small Giant Pacific Octopus on the pocket beach south of Pier 62 during a minus 3 foot tide. The gull made several attempts to swallow it whole, but it appeared to be too big.
First time seeing Barred Owl killed a crow.
The Barred owl ate the crow later on.
Decomposed. Circa 1.2 metres long

large owl with prey
Caught 2 hours after low tide. The sea was calm with some surf. The wind was a gentle northerly. The tide was a neap tide.

I don't know if the gull was scavanging or it caught the fish. There were immature bald eagles feeding on the ice patch, too.
