Kumlien's Gulls Still at Bluffers Park

One of the 7 Kumlien's Gulls at Bluffers Park in Toronto on 7 April 2014. Remarkably 4 were first cycle. At one time there were four first cycle plus the second cycle at the water treatment ponds.

Same first cycle bird as above. It has very worn scapulars and wing coverts. This amount of wear was typical of the first cycle birds.
