Excusez-moi?

So today the boys and I were on a walk along the lake with Sandra. Sam was standing on a ledge near the lake and he was acting silly, nothing obnoxious. There was a man with a camera taking pictures. He turned to us and said, "Would you please not doing anything to scare this bird away, it's very rare." Now I don't know much about birds, but all I was seeing was a seagull....I laughed all the way home!
