At high tide, Bar Island is in fact an island. At low tide, however, it is connected to Mount Desert Island by a narrow strip of land made up of sand and gravel. At this picturesque sand-bar in Acadia National Park, Maine, we witnessed an unusual sight. A run-of-the-mill seagull was smart enough to hunt for starfish that were stranded on the gravel between the islands at low tide. “Don’t play with your food”, I thought.
