Utah State Bird:

|
Utah designated the California gull (Larus californicus) as official state bird in 1955. The Sea Gull Monument in Salt Lake City honors the gull, who saved the people of Utah by consuming the Rocky Mountain crickets which were destroying the crops in 1848. These gentle birds are considered very beneficial by agriculturalists.
