They're scavengers. They like parking lots.

I could never figure this out either. I always get a weird deja vu feeling, like I've been transported back to Long Island...so that link posted above was helpful.

Someone told the Long Island sea gulls that everyone is leaving Long Island to move to NC so they decided to check it out!!!

Falls Lake is loaded with gulls in the winter. Once the weather warms they disappear due to the amount of boat traffic. I think they return to the area landfills during the warm weather months.

Unless they were beige and had the proper permits, they would not be permitted to land in Cary.

When a low pressure system sits off the coast it will rotate winds inland taking gulls with it. The birds will eventually find their way back to the beach.
