Errrrr

Another wacky crossword clue: 4 letters, "Gull friend?"

So I was thinking "tern" ... but no. They want "erne".

Gulls might scavenge after eagles, but they might just as easily be the meal somebody else scavenges. They mob eagles (like crows and jays do).

Ernes aren't gull friends.

Your knowledge of birds is your own undoing. "Erne" was my first guess because I have no clue what any of them look like or what they do. I just know that if I am doing a crossword puzzle and there is something about a bird on the shore... erne and egret seem to show up a lot.
