I took some photos of a first cycle Herring Gull at the Cornell compost facility on 10 December, 2016, and I just found out it was banded as a chick 28 June 2016 on the roof of the Portland Art Museum in downtown, Portland, Maine, by Dr. Noah Perlut of the University of New England. It's always interesting to know where our winter visitors come from.
Photos of the bird are in my eBird list at http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32947117. Six gull species there that day.
