Re: [Ontbirds] Slaty-backed Gull, Mohawk Lake, Brantford
The Slaty-backed Gull was present at Mohawk Lake, Brantford from about 12:10 yesterday (21 November) and was last seen about 4:20 when all the gulls were flushed by a Bald Eagle and presumably headed to the nightly roost (Hamilton Harbour). The bird is not present at all times as it feeds at the nearby Brantford dump at other times. Access into the dump for birders is likely not allowed anymore. Mohawk Lake will not be frozen today but the gulls may still loaf there. However, seeing leg colour on swimming birds will be difficult. Gulls that are using the dump also loaf at the Grand River at the west end of Scarfe Ave and Church St off of Brant Ave if there are few birds at Mohawk Lake. Directions to Mohawk Lake are below.

Re: [Ontbirds] Slaty-backed Gull, Mohawk Lake, Brantford
The adult Slaty-backed Gull was seen at Mohawk Lake in Brantford for several hours yesterday (20 Nov) loafing with many other gulls. It was observed from 10:00 to about 12:30 and from 3:10 until about 4:15. It was in the company of roughly 800 Herring Gulls, five Iceland Gulls, five Lesser Black-backed Gulls and a few Great Black-backed Gulls. It is very likely one of the two birds that was at this location last December. I will post today if I hear that it is present. To reach Mohawk Lake take the 403 to Brantford and exit onto the Wayne Gretzky Pkwy and head south 2.6 km to Colborne St. Turn left onto Colborne St and turn right onto Locks Rd after about 800m.

Birds returned but no Slaty. Bill Lamond still present - hopefully bird will return tomorrow. Gulls tend to be 11 into late afternoon at this location.
