From all of the banded Herrings that I've found in New Buffalo, Michigan, only one has originated from somewhere other than Door County, Wisconsin. So I was very happy when I learned today that both adults that I recorded on 07 September 2015 were from other surrounding Great Lakes colonies - one from Michigan and the other from Ohio.

Other highlights for the day included 5 Bonaparte's Gulls (including FOS adults) and 2 Lesser Black-backeds loafing on the hill at the landfill. The Lessers were a 3rd/4th cycle type and a 2nd cycle type.
