The Slaty-backed was readily noted at the North Bay landfill site again this morning. It was also seen at 3:45 at the westerly end of Trout Lake, having finished gorging at the dump. The latter sighting might best be viewed with a scope. There would also be present about 75 Herring Gulls, and at least 4 Glaucous and adult Black backed Gulls, and two Icelands. The land-fill site entrance which is about 20 miles along hwy 11 due north of North Bay - off Sand Dam road should be able to be accessed if one is careful with the entrance supervisor - explaining your purpose, that you would stay away from any trucks; and if there are more than two cars, that it would be understandable to limit access to just two at a time. Trout Lake is about 3 miles due east, along Trout Lake Road - which is the third stoplight one encounters along the hwy 11, 17 bypass through the centre of the city. North Bay is about 3 1/2 hours due north of a city called Toronto.
