摘要：

We observed nocturnal predation by Great Black-backed Gulls (Larus marinus) on eggs and chicks of Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) at a restored tern colony on the coast of southern Maine. Dissection of a nocturnal predatory gull in 1994 revealed two 7d old chicks, 3 embryonic chicks and 5 eggs. Further observations implicating nocturnal predation by gulls on tern eggs in 1995 confirmed that Great Black-backed Gulls can raid tern nesting colonies during moderate to low nocturnal light conditions.
