Hey Birders. I am still attempting to get better looks, photos, etc. It is an adult large gull. Appears most like a Herring in all respects that i have noticed other than that the mantle color is very obviously shaded too gray. Conclusions thus far? Either a hybrid LBBGxHEGU or something else... Will keep looking though. It has flown down the beach further south.
Bird is on east beach just south of South Point Trail parking lot. Lots of Herring and Ring-billed Gulls around for comparison. Also a single Bonaparte's. No GBBG's whatsoever. Directions: Rondeau P.P. is south of Ridgetown in southern Ontario, on Wildwood Line. Cheers.
