They are normal on the big rusty boat in port credit, but I've only gotten a good look at one twice along the lakeshore in Mississauga (at Jack Darling). Nice pic.

Thanks. I caught the immature at Watersedge Park, the foot of Meadow Wood, a few km's north of Rhododendron.

Nice image of the king of gulls, I'm very surprised that you guys don't see a lot of these around Lake Ontario, in Barrie we have a lot of them and sometimes they out number the Herring and Ring-bills.

Thanks. I haven't seen many of them here myself. I think he was posing for me.

Vince ... great photo.  I rarely see one of these guys - once in a blue moon at Jack Darling Park and Adamson Estate.  :)
