I just had an adult Franklin's Gull fly past from West to East a few hundred metres out while birding the beach at Holiday Beach Conservation Area. It appeared to be an adult, with a uniform dark grey mantle and thick white marks near its wing tips. There is a large group of gulls feeding about a kilometre offshore. I suspect that's where this bird is, but if still travelling along the coast it could pass Kingsville and Point Pelee areas. I lost track of it while trying to phone someone to tell them about it :(
Good birding! Jeremy Bensette _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
