Recent plummeting, colder weather has reduced drastically the
previous several hundreds of gulls (mostly Herring) (now only about 150
gulls present) at the North Bay landfill, but left behind at least a dozen
Glaucous, of all ages, a few juvenile Icelands, and juveniles of both
black-backed gulls, 8 Bald eagles, plus small flocks of Snow Buntings and
Tree Sparrows, and dozens of ravens. And, one can get quite close to them
along, easy to travel, hard-packed access roads, as they forage. Good for
picture-taking.
The landfill is about 15 miles north of North Bay,up hwy11, and along
Sand Dam road
