Hi Ontbirders; A 1st winter Franklin's Gull has been at the Kincardine harbor for three days now. The gull varies between periods of actively flying and then resting on the water but hardly ever leaves the harbor basin. As far as I know everyone that came today got good looks at the bird. One photographer had to put the telephoto lens down and use a pocket camera, the bird is not shy and at times comes very close.

Directions; Kincardine is on the shore of lake Huron where highways 9 and 21 meet. The harbor is one block west of downtown on Harbor Street. Best viewing has been from the southern edge of the harbor. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
