Seagull by Kelly Glazner


National Postcard Week
May 1-7, 2011

The seagull has been considered the Utah state bird since the summer of 1848.  The farmers' fields were nearly destroyed by invading hordes of crickets.  Flocks of seagulls settled in the fields and gorged themselves on the crickets, saving the crops from devastation.  On February 14,1955 legislators designated the California Gull as the official state bird.
