Good Morning Gloucester 
Seagulls will go after your bait when it hits the water. You never want to hook one. This fisherman must know what he’s doing, because these birds can hurt you.

From Mass Audubon: “All birds are protected by federal laws under the “Migratory Bird Act of 1918,” as well as by Massachusetts state laws. It is illegal to destroy, relocate or possess birds, their nests or their eggs. The only exceptions are non-native species: House Sparrow, European Starling, and Pigeon. Trained and licensed wildlife rehabilitators, who have passed a federal and/or state-administered test, are permitted to care for injured or orphaned wildlife.” This includes seagulls.
