The miracle of the gulls is an 1848 event often credited by Latter-day Saints ("Mormons") for saving the Mormon pioneers' second harvest in the Salt Lake Valley. While absent in contemporary accounts, later accounts claimed seagulls miraculously saved the 1848 crops by eating thousands of insects that were devouring their fields. The first crop was planted in 1847 a few days after they entered the valley, which was very late in the growing season and produced a meager but usable harvest. Next spring, using seed from the first harvest, they planted their second crop, only to watch in dismay as the crickets attacked. Less than two years earlier, in October 1846, many of them were saved by quail that flew into their camp, on their trek to the Great Salt Lake and made available as food.

  • El Milagro de las gaviotas es un evento de 1848 a menudo acreditado como un milagro por los miembros del Movimiento de los Santos de los Últimos Días, también conocido como mormonismo, el cual habría salvado la segunda cosecha de los pioneros mormones en el valle de Salt Lake City, Utah. Aunque esta historia está ausente en las crónicas de la época,​ relatos posteriores afirmaron que las gaviotas salvaron milagrosamente los cultivos de 1848 al comer miles de grillos mormones (Anabrus simplex) que estaban devorando sus campos. La primera cosecha se plantó en 1847, solo unos días después de que ingresaron al valle, que fue muy tarde en la temporada de siembra y produjo una cosecha escasa pero utilizable. La primavera siguiente, usando semillas de la primera cosecha, plantaron su segunda cose (es)
