Hi all, Frank Pinilla and I had the Slaty-backed Gull come in very briely this evening at 4:36 pm from Olmsted Beach at the west end of Trout Lake. It landed on the water for only minutes before taking flight with the entire group of about 75 Herrings, several Great-Black Backed and Glaucous Gulls.
Directions as per Richard’s previous post: Trout Lake is about 3 miles due east, along Trout Lake Road - which is the third stoplight one encounters along the hwy 11, 17 bypass through the centre of the city. North Bay is about 3 1/2 hours due north of Toronto. Good birding, Dave Szmyr _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
