My attempt to sketch a remote lighthouse ended with geese stealing my lunch

I was at this hidden lighthouse on the Oregon coast, totally isolated. I set up my sketchbook to capture the view. Out of nowhere, a flock of geese surrounded me. One bold bird snatched my turkey sandwich right from my bag. I had to chase it off while holding my pencils. Ended up with a drawing full of squiggly lines from laughing so hard.

Geese on the Oregon coast? That's unusual. Seagulls are usually the bold ones around there, always after people's food. I remember one stealing a hot dog right from my friend's hand at Seaside. They're much more common in those areas. Your story is still hilarious though. Maybe it was a random goose, but seagulls are the typical thieves.

Watch those seagulls at any coastal picnic, they're absolute menaces. I've seen one swoop down and grab a whole slice of pizza right off a paper plate. Another time a group of them worked together to knock over a chip bag and then just went to town. The geese might show up sometimes, but the seagulls are the organized crime of the beach.

Those seagulls are ruthless sometimes.
