Mott Calls Food Cuts to Curb Gull Menace
Mott urged reducing available food to lower the expanding herring gull population blamed for the Logan Airport crash. He led a team to trap and color 1 600 gulls from blue to red, counted thousands at Gloucester, and noted 2 000 on a Mass Reformatory pig farm. The Boston Port Authority backed efforts to curb the birds’ winter mortality through reduced food.
