There are two relevant natural resources laws which would applicable in this
instance.  NR10-401 and NR 10-902 both would require our officer to
articulate that the suspect(s) are at least attempting to take the gulls
through their actions.  Legal definition of hunt includes attempting to
reduce the animals to possession.

Our 24 hour dispatch # is 410-260-8888 or you can use the toll free number
listed earlier.  I tell hunters all the time to program the number into
their cell phones so that they will have it when they need to reach us.

Hope this helps, Mike

You could just drive over the ass wholes.  Would not bother me.  Gulls are 
more useful.

I cannot find anything in the State laws but Natural Resources Police have
a toll-free hotline is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week at
1-800-628-9944.  They might be able to suggest whom to contact.

I have confirmed that Black-headed Gull is protected under the Migratory
Bird Treaty Act, which stipulates

Unless permitted by regulations, the Act provides that it is unlawful to
pursue, hunt, take, capture or kill; attempt to take, capture or kill;
possess, offer to or sell, barter, purchase, deliver or cause to be
shipped, exported, imported, transported, carried or received any
migratory bird, part, nest, egg or product, manufactured or not.

I'll have my camera ready tomorrow for any miscreants
