I had a chance to get back to the area where I had the California Gull
yesterday.  The area is along the lake between our Lake Erie Bluffs Park and
Fairport Harbor and is on private property.  The bird was in pretty much the
same area as yesterday.  There were a lot more ring-billed gulls in the area
and more herring gulls as well.  There were a lot of gulls to far west from
where I was to look through them. From what I did look through, besides the
California gull  I was able to find an adult lesser black-backed gull and an
adult great black-backed x herring gull hybrid. There seems to be some good
gulls around.  If the weather gets bad they may head in to some more
sheltered areas.



When I was assisting with aerial Waterbird counts on Lake Erie a few years
ago this area always had concentrations of gulls.  It is basically
north-northwest of the Lake County landfill and a lot of birds were flying
to and from the dump.
