I took some photos of a banded first cycle Great Black-backed Gull at the Stevenson Road compost on Saturday, 2 March 2013. Turns out it was banded on Appledore Island, on the Isles of Shoals, Maine, where Cornell has a biological station, on 9 July 2011. This is the first banded Great Black-backed Gull I have seen in Ithaca.
