Fearful and Mysterious Mortality Among G,llls
Leads to Investigation Disclosing Feud

trait painters. He 1t was who started
the first serious movement for the pro-
lection of the Maine coast gulls by means
of paid wardens. For many years these
beautifully feathered birds had been
ruthlessly slaughtered to supply the
wholesale millinery trade. Finally moth
ing but a pitifully small remnant of the
once immense focks remained.
With $4,000 that Thayer collected
the Audubon society made a choice of
wardens from among the lighthouse
keepers, lifesaying station captains and
others to protect the gulls. There era
now thirty-fye islands used for gull col
onies on the Maine coast and sixteen men
are employed In protecting them.
The Arctic and the common species
are raised in these colonies. Other water
birds which have been given protection
are black sea pigeons. Wilson's petrels
or Mother Carries chickens. Pufins and
elder duck
Many mysterious tragedies have been
enacted this winter In the dead forest of
Great Duck. They were tragedies so
mysterious, so grewsome and productive
of such mortality among the herring
gulls that representative of the Audi
bon Society was sent to investigate.
Everywhere lay the dead bodies of
gulls and the slaughter, strange to say,
was at its height during the breeding
season. 1t was inexphcable. Examina-
ton of the birds showed in each case a
gaping. frtghtful wound in the back Of
the head at the seat of the brain.
Ii was at first thought that some ex-
pert marksman was amusing himself by
practicing on the gulls. But no strang-
ers remained unaccounted for on Great
Duck. Nor had there been any report of
firearms. A head keeper, two assistant
keepers and an old lobsterman are the
only ones who live on the island. 1t was
the lobsterman who solved the mystery.
In addition to being a lobsterman he
is a taxidermist of twenty-five years ex-
perience. Many hours he lay on the
moss-carpeted grounds of the spruce
forests and watched the screeching birdie
as they circled and talked and fought
among themselves.
Il found there was a regular feud on
among them gulls," he says. II never
heard Of such thing before. But now

must have something to do with family
jealousies. The green-eyed monster is a
bad one whether he possesses beasts or
birds or humans.
"P'raps one mother gull Jest sort Of

and pecks right into her brain.
"In all my years round the water and
the seabirds I've never known gulls to
murder their own kind before. But I've
watched them do II a dozen times this
year and seem is certainly belieVin' In
my case"
At the end of the breeding season
when the young gulls were able to
scramble around for themselves the
jealous parents seemed to bury the
Ratchet and the strange bird feuds came
to an end. While they lasted, however,
hundreds of gulls met death from these
deadly onslaughts.
The dead forest of Great Duck also
claims many victims. Perching on the
withered split brc inches the birds not
infrequently get Lheir feet caught and
are unable to free themselves. The
harder they flap their wings and tug the
Hrmer do they fasten themselves in
these natural bird snares. Gradually
strength fails and they fall head down
ward.
Many young gulls are caught and
perish in the surf which constantly
beats upon the eastern side of Great
Duck. A gull cannot rise from the sur
face If its wings become thoroughly
soaked with water. The old expert
enced gulls are well aware of this and
seldom get caught. Then, too, they keep
their plumage we'll oiled and as nearly
waterproof as possible.
1t is the younger birds that suffer
either because of their inability or their
neglect similarly to oil their wings or
because they have not acquired the
strength OF wind needed for flying.
