3 I was grilling peaches for dessert when this fellow showed up. We'd eaten at our friend's campsite next to ours, and my mom and our friends were still over there. I'm pretty sure this guy was smelling the bits of salmon that had fallen into the grill when I was cooking dinner. After he flew away I heard my mom and our friends yelling--- guess who found the salmon scraps in their garbage bag?
