Kumlien's Gulls on Lake Ontario

Greg Neise and I recently visited a few parks on Lake Ontario where we observed and photographed a nice mix of Kumlien's Iceland Gulls. This session was part of a 5 day trip that we embarked on to enjoy some gulls on the Great Lakes, including the Niagara River and Lake Erie.

A big thanks to Jean Iron for her advice. We had ~15 individuals at Ashbridges Bay and about that many at Bluffer's Park. Ironically, we missed first cycle Kumlien's, but later picked up that age on the Niagara River.
