Gulls Adapt to Harvest Cherries in Salt Lake Valley
Gulls in Utah's Salt Lake Valley have altered feeding behavior to exploit cherries. Unable to perch on ranches, they hover over trees to beat fruit and descend to consume the fallen harvest. Some perch at tree tops with outspread wings to pick fruit within reach, a change attributed to increased gull numbers and competition for food. Clarence Cottam of the Biological Survey notes the shift as a local adaptation.
