### San Francisco Seagulls, Climate Change Blame

A reported "plague" of seagulls in the San Francisco Bay Area is being blamed on climate change or a lack of predators. However, local observations suggest the birds have always congregated at stadiums like AT&T Park and Candlestick Park to scavenge food after games. The use of falcons and flares to control the birds at garbage dumps is a costly but necessary measure to prevent bird strikes at nearby airports.
