The cry of the seagulls along Nova Scotia's sea coast calls attention to their graceful flight. Although called 'sea' gulls, they are truly land based birds, seldom flying far out to sea! We see Grey Gulls, Herring Gulls, Lesser Black Backed Gulls, and perhaps most beautiful of all, the Great Black Backed Gull. They are as majestic in flight as they are strutting along a sandy shore, or perched on a fish store or wharf pile, ever searching for morsels of sustenance. The red disc on the mother's beak is a place for her young to 'beak peck' when they want 'Momma' to supply more food!
