I travelled to Niagara again with renewed hope that the gull would 'easy' to find. Not so much. Along with 3 or 4 cars of other birders we searched for several hours. At least 55 GBBG and 10 LBBG (mostly adults) were present. Tundra Swans - 65+ birds present mid river between the Control Gates and Chippewa. Tufted Titmouse - 3 birds around the east end Dufferin Is. Unidentified hybrid gull sp. - 1 ad. Herring-like gull with a darker mantle was flying around the break wall near the Control Gates. Not sure what it was... The California Gull was again looked for and did not produce. No Glaucous Gulls were present to my knowledge, despite multiple birds being reported yesterday... so there had to have been a notable change in birds... most notably the lack of any Slaty-backeds ;) eBird Checklists: http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist?subID=S12457644http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist?subID=S12457836http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist?subID=S12457785 Cheers, Andrew Keaveney _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
