However, gulls typically nest on roof-tops rather than on islands when there are no more islands for them to nest on (e.g. their populations are growing).  In Portland, Maine, where Herring Gull populations decline ~5% annually, Herring Gulls continue to nest of roof-tops.  We study the costs and benefits of big city life, including reproductive success, diet, dispersal and movement (see publications <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/perlutlab\/publications\/\">here<\/a>).  Our current work now focuses on understanding movement patterns by these birds and trying to identify if the birds hatched on roof-tops return to Portland to breed 4-5 years later.  We primarily use orange bands with black letters (but did deploy a few blue bands with white letters)&#8211;please report any banded gulls to <a href=\"mailto:nperlut@une.edu\">nperlut@une.edu<\/a>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/perlutlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/08\/P4250023-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/perlutlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/08\/P4250023-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/perlutlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/08\/P4250023-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/perlutlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/08\/P4250023-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/perlutlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/08\/P4250023-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/perlutlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/08\/P4250023-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gulls nest on roof-tops around the world.
