[ONTBIRDS] Slaty-backed Gull, Thorold

[Ryan Griffiths via ONTBIRDS]

An adult Slaty-backed Gull was found roosting on the small pier just south of 
Dock Road in Thorold this afternoon along the Welland Canal, taking flight at 
3:15pm heading east towards the Landfill. Possibly reoccurring bird from 
previous years. Dock road is a small gravel laneway that runs from Ormond St 
south.

Good Birding!

Refound after being flushed from original location, viewed on pier at dock road 
thorold, which is across from northland power. Gulls again flushed by boat, but 
are slowly trickling back, it is possible the slaty will return to the dock 
road location.

[Ontbirds] Brant, Port Dalhousie

[Ryan Griffiths via ONTBIRDS]

A lone Brant was on the Dalhousie pier, it just flew due west. I tracked it as 
long as possible and could likely end up at the Jordan Marina. Also several 
vocal fish crows present.

>turn left on lighthouse road to the end.
