Hello Ontbirders,
I am copying an email from Michelle Cross, who is the Co-ordinator of Landfill Operations at the North Bay landfill site. This was one of the main areas the Slaty-backed Gull was visiting in late November and early December of this year. Michelle and her staff were very kind and helpful, allowing us to see the this fantastic bird. Please see her comments below; "It's Michelle from the City of North Bay :) it was great to meet you and your wife a couple of weeks ago. since your visit we have had several other interested people appear to see this crazy gull. I hope you ended up with a photo of it in the end. I am writing because I am looking for a bit of a favour. I'm wondering if you know of a birding forum that I could post a message to about our landfill. I need to inform people that they need to contact me directly to set up an escort for when they plan to be on site. I'm not able to allow unescorted folks in anymore at all. Everyone has been so respectful that I'm sure this won't be an issue but moving forward I'd like to make sure that no one is caught off guard." Michelle, thank you again for your great hospitality.
