Today around 12:45 I spotted a completely white gull hanging about on the ice behind the break wall at Humber Bay (Lake Ontario). The exact location is due south at Ellis Ave and Lakeshore Ave. in west end Toronto.
I am almost certain that it is an immature Glaucous Gull as it is completely white, has a "pale flesh" bill with a black tip and much larger than the mostly ring-billed seagulls around it but about the size of the Great Black-backed gull. It did have a few greyish pale blemishes on it's back. Attila Fust [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S. When I spotted the Glaucous I was on the way back from a Toronto Field Naturalist's (TFN) outing lead by Verna Higgins at Humber Bay Park West. The highlights included two Horned Grebes, two Long-eared owls, a Yellow-rumped Warbler and a solitary Wood Duck hanging around with about 50 Mallards and two Black Ducks.
