Ring-billed Gull
Larus delawarensis
43.6331, -79.3234
Field Notes
Description:
A little hard to spot because of its light-gray speckled feathers that blend so well with the stone, but right in the middle there is a baby seagull. There was a huge flock of nesting seagulls on the shore of Lake Ontario, awfully gregarious. As the name suggests, these seagulls have a dark ring on their bill.
Habitat:
A migratory bird found throughout Canada and United States. They nest in groups, and tend to return to the same spot every year.
Notes:
The park wasn't too crowded, and people did come fairly close to this huge group of gulls -- but not too close to avoid distressing them.
