The North bay landfill site has huge numbers of gulls these days, including at least 8 Glaucous, including a beautiful adult; fewer Iceland, Great Black-backed, and of course several hundred of Herring in various plumages. Thayers have been detected, also though misidentification of this difficult gull may have happened. Bald Eagles and Snow Buntings are about, also. This landfill site is located about ten miles north of North Bay, along highway #11, then east along Sand Dam road, following it to the landfill area via well marked signs. North Bay is now only 3 1/2 hours north of Toronto, via four lanes the whole distance. -- Dick Tafel
