Hello Everyone,
Had a chance to bird the Niagara River today and saw the adult California
Gull sitting on the same rocks as previous years, from the Adam Beck Power
Generating Station overlook. Compared to the near-by Herring Gulls, the bird
had extensive head streaking, a slightly darker mantle, a fairly large
amount of black (with some red) on the bill, and dull yellow legs. In
flight, the black on the wingtips was only slightly more extensive than the
average Herring Gull, however large white mirrors on P9 and P10 were very
noticeable.
Good Birding!
