Bryan Wyatt and I were just watching a gull with the features of an adult Slaty-backed Gull along Jones Baseline - in the field with about 750 Herring Gulls. The field is on the east side of Jones Baseline about 2 km north of Hwy 124. The gulls are mostly in a large group in one large field, but this gull was mostly with a smaller group of less than 50 birds at the north end of the adjacent field. The bird was sometimes hidden in a patch of some taller weeds that is attracting a lot of the gulls.
We couldn't get photos, but would appreciate it someone could give that a try. The gulls are a hundred meters or more from the road. Mike Jones Baseline goes north from the east end of Guelph Lake from Hwy 124. Guelph Lake is just north of Guelph on Hwy 124. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mike Cadman Songbird Biologist Canadian Wildlife Service Environment Canada 867 Lakeshore Road Burlington, ON, L7S 1A1 [email protected] Telephone: 905-336-6295 Fax: 905-336-6434 Government of Canada Mike Cadman Biologiste aux oiseaux chanteurs Service canadien de la faune Environnement Canada 867 chemin Lakeshore Burlington, ON, L7S 1A1 [email protected] Téléphone: 905-336-6295 Télécopieur: 905-336-6434 Gouvernement du Canada _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
