Hello Ont. Birders, Today, April 17th, I observed a total of 11 adult Lesser Black-backed Gulls at the Trail Road (8) and Carp (3) Landfill sites. I wonder where they are breeding in North America ? There was also both Glaucous and Iceland Gulls (various ages) at the Trail Road facility. Both landfill sites are closed to birders, but birds can easily be viewed from Trail Road or Carp Road. Find the highest vantage point and set up your scope. At the pond near Trail Road, two male Ruddy Ducks were also seen. Good Birding Bruce
