[Maine-birds] Gull foraging in tree

Coming out of the supermarket in Gardiner yesterday, I looked up to see an adult Ring-billed Gull perched in the top of a small ornamental crabapple tree and pulling at the small apples while trying to maintain its balance. This was a new gull feeding behavior for me although I know that gulls are amazingly adaptable! This same crabapple has hosted Bohemian and Cedar Waxwings as well as American Robins in past years. I tried to get a quick photo or video of the gull feeding in the tree but it was startled off before I could get the shot.
