Hi folks: an afternoon update on the Slaty-backed Gull in Mississauga. 1- Before 2 pm it was feeding on a fish at the mouth of Cookville creek. Then it flew, perhaps because of a RT Hawk overhead) 2- I re-found it (at 2:05 pm) flying near the Ridgetown moored boat ( Port Credit ) and it landed on water near Tall Oaks park ( Elmwood Ave., Mississauga) where it stayed, guarding a floating dead fish, until 2:55 pm when it flew and sat on the Rocks guarding Port Credit Marina, near the moored boat. 3- it flew again and was over the Port Credit Marina at 3:05 pm, then flew over the lake ( with many boats and skidoos). In the HSA geographical region!! 4- at 3:40 pm, I checked back the Cooksville Creek (RK McMillan park)area, but no luck. Left at 4 pm
Best of luck
