I located the Slaty-backed Gull this morning at 9:15am right behind the = East Bay Motel. It may of been there earlier as I ran into Ken Hoffman = and Bruce Stahly and they may of seen much earlier then 9:15am. The gull = looked ok but not great. The feathers on the folded flight feathers = looked worn and frayed. The wings were held in a slight droop. The = left eye is still injured and reports are that the eye looks like its = healing. There is some scaling on the bill and in the photos I taken = this morning you can see this happening. Bruce Stanly fed it some fish = and anchovies and the SBB Gull looked like he enjoyed the freebie. I can = honestly say that this gull will be a fixture in Grand Marais for = sometime unless it dies from some illness or preyed on. There are a few = places to see photos of this gull and if you are not tired of seeing = photos of this gull follow the link below.
