Sunday afternoon, the Astros prevailed in a Grapefruit League matchup with a non-division rival Pirates. Houston roster hopeful Matt Duffy hit two home runs.
At some point in the middle of the game, a swarm of seagulls descended upon McKechnie Field in Bradenton, Florida, as players warmed up between innings. Check it out:

The players went about their business like nothing was happening. Impressive. That's a veteran move. Act like you've been there before.
Of course, seagulls are not exactly uncommon in the Grapefruit League. Heck, they're not uncommon in the big leagues. Wrigley Field and AT&T Park see more than their fair of avian visitors each summer.
