	California Gull
		Grateful Utah residents chose this as their state bird because they saved the Mormons' crops from locusts in 1848. Without the large flocks of gulls to feed on the swarming insects, the settlers would have suffered starvation. California Gulls also feed on rodents, eggs, fish and garbage. They usually nest near freshwater lakes or marshes.
