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

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..?? |

Those aren't seagulls. They are Dumpgulls. By definition, seagulls live
near the sea, dumpgulls live near the dump. Since you live near the dump in boulder, you must be a......oh, never mind. wrote: why do i have seagulls flying around my house? i live near boulder, co? are they lost, or what? |
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 Ole Thom |
CM,
Maybe you should listen to Scott when you sail. Look around you and see what is taking place. Get your face out of the mug! One of the Joys of sailing is watching the Gulls. "Jonaston Seagull" is a story about Gulls. They can be a exercise in watching beautity when they are soaring; as well as a pain in the ass when they are ****ting on your boat. They are a very smart bird. You can learn a lot from watching them. When they soar very high they will drift with the prevailing winds. A very easy way for them to get away from an incoming storm. Just might help you sometime. Ole Thom |
yea...that helps...i'll tell my kids they are dumpgulls, at least that
will make a laugh...btw, i do live w/in 30 miles of a dump...come to think of it... |
Or another "sock" just trolling..................

They are scavengers... they'll fly anywhere to find food. The USA has gulls right across the mainland.... coast to coast. Anyone surprised to find gulls on the inland plains is just plain stupid or not very observant of the world around them. This is a case of an idiot opening their eyes.... treat it as such. The person posting is dumber than a plank. CM "Thom Stewart" wrote in message ... Rich, They probably came in on a "Rocky Mountain High."

Oh fer gawd's sake Thom... I've grown up with gulls... I've hand raised 2
nestlings swept off a rock island in a storm. There are more of them now than ever before in history. ....and don't be so presumptuous as to tell me where to look. I swear the way that post read is that you assume I've never bothered to take a look at what's around me. I sail in Nova Scotia Thom.... it's got a much longer history of sail and men who went to sea. I've commercial fished here. I know the damn ocean! Scotty is not about to tell me anything about sailing..... I'll do as I please and when it suits me. ..."and I'll Drink To That!" CM "Thom Stewart" wrote in message ...

Scott,
Don't let it go to your head. I've been proven wrong many times :^) The last election is a good example (G) Ole Thom |
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.
