Nov 30/05: This morning around 10am to 11am, we observed a 1st winter Laughing Gull on the mudflats in Frenchman's Bay in Pickering amongst the Ring-Billed Gulls.
It flew off inland around 11am. Directions below courtesy of Jean Iron from a previous post. Directions: Enter community centre parking lot south off Bayly between Whites Road and Liverpool Road in south Pickering via Highway 401. It's a short walk east along a path into the woods to the marsh. Keep following the muddy path through tall cattails to mud flats and shallow open bay. You'll need rubber boots and a scope.
