Mono Lake supports the largest known California Gull colony in the world. About 50,000 adults raise their young at the lake. This is over 95 per cent of California's breeding population.
Gulls have been crossing the Sierra for thousands of years to raise their young on Mono Lake's islands. They arrive in April and by nesting on the islans protect their eggs and young from coyotes, ground squirrels, snakes and other mainland predators.
The chicks are nourished on brine shrimp and flies. By August the young and their parents may be seen soaring westward over the Sierras on their return journey to coastal wintering areas.
