You must have a garbage dump nearby...BTW, how close is Great Salt Lake?

why do i have seagulls flying around my house? i live near boulder, co?
are they lost, or what?

i never really noticed, but...since my kids were asking me & i
hadn't a clue why....will one find seagulls across the country?

ie: @ dumps? we never lived far from the ocean, so it was funny
to see and hear them here in colorado..??

Oh good grief... how dense are you americans anyway?

Different brand of seagull.
Look at a bird book and you'll learn to spot the subtle differences. Also
those dirty grayish gulls are the young. Takes about 4 years to mature.

Rich,

They probably came in on a "Rocky Mountain High."

They will leave their home ground to get away from a storm sometimes.

When they do and find good,easy feeding, they'll hang around for awhile.

Sounds like you got blessed with a flight from Salt Lake City.

They can be as bad as a stray dog on rubbish day
