Hi, The adult Mew Gull was back at Mohawk Lake, Brantford today (2 December). It was observed and photographed just before 3:00 p.m. and remained until about 3:50 when all the gulls were flushed by a Redtail and it did not immediately return. It may have returned after I left.
Mohawk Lake is reached from Greenwich St in Brantford, easily reached off Hwy 403 from the Wayne Gretzky Parkway exit.
