Last report at Summit Lake is that the gulls have left. From the video I took of the second gull this morning, it may not be a SBGU after all. Open wing photos would clear it up.______________________________________________________________________It looks like the second gull that was ruled out as a large LBBG may actually be a second Slaty, this one fully adult with a red gonys spot. Two Slaty's were seen in Ontario last December, and one of them was Kent Miller's bird (4th year?). The other was an adult. The adult is apparently still at Summit Lake, and needs high quality photos to confirm ID.Jon Cefus just found the bird at Lake Cable in Stark County, and said it was headed for the landfill. He got some clear flight photos.Not at the Bolivar landfill at 9:55. Only about 50 gulls present and most of those too distant over crest of hill to identify. Dumping is apparently taking place mostly over the hill so most birds will be invisible.Terry Bronson
Marietta, OHYes it was present at Summit Lake this morning and took off around 8:15. There is still a lot of open water on the northern end of the lake, so it may come back this evening. Just watch out because there are also GBBG and LBBG present.Brian Tinker______________________________________________________________________If the Slaty-backed Gull is seen today, could someone pls post to the listserve and where/what time it was seen?
Thanks.
