This morning at about 8:30 a.m. (October 11), we saw the adult Vega Gull at the Tip of Point Pelee.
It arrived from the north along the east shore, landed briefly in the water at the Tip, then flew over onto the "island" that is just slightly offshore from the Tip. As usual it landed on the left centre of the island, where it immediately was out-of-view due to a sand ridge. We never saw it again, but did not bother to walk out to the extreme Tip to get a different angle. The fact that it came in from the north might suggest that it is still visiting Wheatley Harbour, the location where it was originally discovered on September 29.
