October 6, 2012 - adult Vega Gull - Point Pelee, Ontario. First found on the seemingly early date of Sep 29, 2012 by Kevin McLaughlin. It stuck around for a while until I was in the area and managed some photos. Everything seemed to fit perfectly in our opinion, especially the very late molt.
Jan/Feb, 2010 - adult Yellow-legged Gull - St. John's, Newfoundland. The classic St. John's gull, from my winter 2010 trip (photos on different dates)
Jan/Feb 2010 - adult Slaty-backed Gull - St. John's, Newfoundland. SBGU could probably get its own species page in the future, if I can ever find or see any in Ontario...
September 28, 2009 - adult Black-tailed Gull - Port Burwell P.P. Ontario - one of the main highlights of my gull-watching career, a self found bird that was the first record for Ontario!
Never before seen photos of the BTGU...
So is it obvious by now? Was it obvious days ago?
You are going to spend the year concentrating on "gulling" in Ontario.
ReplyDeleteBig Gull Year seems like a fun idea!
