Observation details
I confirmed a large nesting colony of Ring-billed Gulls on the roof of this large warehouse. I estimated at least 100 nests with incubating adults on the northernmost edge of the roof. I was able to view the rooftop nesters from the parking area at the Shell Gas station located across the tracks just north of the warehouse. I suspect there were many more nests on the roof, but I was not able to get high enough to view the entire top of the roof. The nesting colony may have been eradicated after 2018 since there was no evidence of nesting in 2024.
