Gulls Forced to Nest in Downtown Victoria, British Columbia

 

Chased by Bald Eagles who raid their nests for eggs, chicks, and can even take a gull in full flight, that’s how powerful eagles are, our local Glaucous-Winged Gulls are being forced to nest downtown. These gulls are smart, they know Eagles don’t go into town.

So not only are the Blue Herons in peril, now it’s the turn of the Glaucous-Winged Gull (native to Victoria), to be haunted. With this exodus of gulls to downtown however, comes an increase of Guano on indiscriminate targets.
