I encountered the same flock of gulls noted by Steve Charbonneau in the field with mostly Ring-billed Gulls at 3:45 and at that time I scoped 35 Franklin's Gulls which may be the day's high for that area.
Brian Morin Directions as per Steve Charbonneau: Erieau is in Chatham-Kent at the southeast end of County Rd 12 Erie Shore Drive is the first left turn after going out of Erieau and past McGeachy's Pond. The gulls were in a plowed field about 1 km from where the road meets the lake. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
