Birders farther south in Ontario may be interested that there are good numbers of Kumlien's Iceland Gulls and Glaucous Gulls in the Lake Nipissing Region. Both species are being seen around North Bay and today I observed 12 Kumlien's Iceland and 8 juvenile Glaucous Gulls at the Sundridge dump and Lake Bernard.(Sundridge Governent dock) All age classes of Kumlien's 1adult and 11 juveniles. These gulls will stay until we get a deep freeze and the bigger lakes freeze over.
Other birds of interest in the Sundridge area are lots of Pine Siskins, Common Redpolls and White-winged Crossbills. Directions: Sundridge is 2.5 hours north of Toronto and 45 min.south of North Bay along Highway 11. The dump is located on Forest Lake Rd.Exit onto Main St head NE Main turns into Forest Lake rd.The dump is located 3.5 Klm on the left. The Government Dock is locted at the corner of Main and James Street. Good birding, Stephen O'Donnell Sundridge ON _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
