Previous to the departure of the Terns from us in the autumn, they are everywhere flitting about our shores and bays, following up the schools of small fish and resting on sandbars, fiats, or even boats, buoys or fishermen's traps. Old and young are inter- mingled, and they are tame and gentle. To bays where there is good fishing they will resort daily, flying out seaward at night. The Herring Gull is the only true Gull that nests on the coast of Maine. From Massachus- setts southward the Laughing Gull nests spar- ingly on sandy islands and marshes, often near colonies of Terns. The other species of the Gulls are more northerly than either of the above. Im- mature individuals linger far south of the breed- ing-range of the species.
