Additional Description: During summer, when the parade ground is crowded with western gulls, you won't miss the birds even with your eyes closed. They produce a powerful aroma and a constant racket. In addition to the cries of hungry chicks, western gulls use 12-15 different vocalizations—from high-pitched squeals to low-pitched barks—to defend their territory, signal alarm, identify themselves, and initiate courting.
