The North bay landfill site has huge numbers of gulls these days, including
at least 8 Glaucous, including a beautiful adult; fewer Iceland, Great
Black-backed, and of course several hundred of Herring in various plumages.
Thayers have been detected, also though misidentification of this
difficult gull may have happened. Bald Eagles and Snow Buntings are about,
also.
This landfill site is located about ten miles north of North Bay, along
highway #11, then east along Sand Dam road, following it to the landfill
area via well marked signs.
North Bay is now only 3 1/2 hours north of Toronto, via four lanes
the whole distance.
