Title: Glaucous Gull - Sam Smith Park
Post by: Brian Bailey on April 26, 2012, 12:35:44 PM
I was surprised to find a late adult Glaucous Gull at Sam Smith Park yesterday evening.  I guess no one told him about the early spring!  It was last seen flying west into Mississauga.  I didn't cover much of the park, but grebe and merganser numbers are down noticeably.

Tree, Barn, and Northern Rough-winged Swallows were all checking out nesting sites.  I had a mockingbird doing a very convincing Mallard.  I actually watched his beak to be sure it was really him!  :o
