Birders: I wanted to give some additional information on the Ivory Gull from yesterday-Tues Jan -10. We arrived from the Sault at 0745 and along with many other birder's scoured Hillman Marsh for the entire day. The numbers of gulls was astounding and 9 species were observed by many for the day. Between 1500-1600 many of the hard working birder's left in disappointment as the gull could not be relocated. We were over at the first bridge at 1615 planning to do the same -we had already packed up our scopes, when a local birder (who we thank profusely) drove by and said the bird had just been relocated on the other side of the marsh. We madly drove to the next road to the south- the one that is closed. We drove most of the way to were numerous cars were parked. The bird was feeding just on the other side of the dike at the shore edge. It was within about 50 ft. and you had to get well up on the dike and look down before you could see it. The bird remained in that spot pecking in the mud not moving more than 20-30 yards until about 1745. At that time it flew up and headed north towards the first bridge. It made a large circle and then landed about a 75 yards further out in the marsh (from were we had been observing it originally),on the south side of the point with the blind -3/4 of the way to the tip. It hunkered down at the edge of the cat tails looking like it was going to spend the night. At last light it was still in this position.We left happy and arrived back in the Sault around 0130. I would like to thank all the local birders who despite having seen the bird spent a very considerable amount of time and energy searching and helping out all the visiting birders.
