Hi everyone,
I'm hoping a gull expert might be willing to offer an opinion on why we have had a biblical increase in the number of laughing gulls in the New Orleans Municipal Yacht Harbor. The long term residents there have never seen this many. The amount of debris on one's boat is daunting.
They showed up about 4 weeks ago. Our working theory is that a couple of large shrimp boats have been working near the Causeway and that maybe they travel with those boats.
Not that we can do anything about it, but if we had a clue as to why it might be happening we can look forward to an ending.
