VH-KDK Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 1. An early morning take off from Juneau Harbour SPB 5Z1 2. Bird strikes are often encountered with all the gulls living in the Gastineau Channel 3. However there are none to bee seen today which is very unusual but if you look closely there is something that looks strange on the jetty in front of the Otter! 4. Over the Douglas Island Bridge and still nothing slightly "gullee" 5. Now the mudflats leading up to the airport, no white splodges to be seen. 6. A walk back to the jetty opposite the Prospector Hotel reveals the mystery. They are on strike for better pay and conditions with Mr Eagle overseeing the disgruntled gulls. Can you blame them as I certainly would not like to be floating in the freezing cold water all day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my all time favourite movies, it made me think of it when I came across this. I would never cross a picket as some may take offence!
