Birders, Some of you may be interested to know that the is a alternate(breeding plumaged) Bonaparte's Gull with about 2000 others in Wheatley Harbour. I found the bird around 5pm so the light was diminishing but I could see that there was no type of molt and the bird had a complete black hood. The bird was easy to pick out due to the fact that all the other gulls have basic plumage. Good Birding, Dean Ware Wheatley ON. peleeisbirder@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
