Post by: candidpets on September 06, 2014, 02:11:47 AM

Love toronto birds

where can i see large groups of GBB gulls? I saw a huge herring gull kiill a pet pigeon in the city town center parking lot (bramlea) i video taped it but not very exiciting u know the drill.


I want more large gulls was hoping for GBB gulls interacting with other birds? Help! I have yet to even see bald eagles which are soppose to be common!

Great Black-backed Gulls are mainly seen in Toronto in winter. Bald Eagles are definitely not common in Toronto, only reliably seen in migration and even then not in large numbers. You have a better chance seeing them outside of the city as they are nesting on the shores of, e.g., Lake Erie and Lake Simcoe.

Also in winter. Herring Gulls occur all year around, but in smaller numbers during the summer.
