   Hi Gracie! I found the Gull nests up on Sandpoint Lake just outside of Swanson’s Bay. The rock island isn’t very big, but evidently it’s big enough for 3 Herring Gull nests. I read that it takes 30 days to incubate the eggs and the young birds are cared for for another 6-7 weeks before they fledge. I can envision a few baby Gull pictures in the near future!
