Description: The Herring Gull population in the Great Lakes has been declining in recent years so current data is needed to determine critical factors that affect their population. These gulls are the lake's cleanup crew and an indicator of the lake's health. Sandusky Bay's Turning Point colony has been monitored since 1981 and color banding of nestling gulls provides critical information.
