I was quite pleased to capture this flyby today at Ashbridges Bay. Even got a bit of motion blur in the background as I tracked the bird. The Canada geese were completely unimpressed and the one in the middle mooned me.

Great photo Bill…..these gulls are a real success story on the Great Lakes
Thank you very much, Paul. Sounds as if these particular gulls may have been introduced to the Great Lakes. I’ll have to look into that. The markings are distinctive.
Looks like I grabbed a picture of one of these:
Ring‐billed Gull: The most abundant gull in agricultural and urban areas of southern Ontario. Unlike most gulls, Ring‐billed Gulls frequent school yards and fast food restaurants. In Ontario, this is the species seen following the farmer’s plow, or circling high to catch flying ants in summer. They stop feeding in fields and on lawns when the ground freezes in the fall.
Great shot Bill. It was a lovely afternoon sitting on the rocks watching the birds fly by. Also our first real bike ride of the season, a bit busier than usual as the kids were off school for PD day.
A nice clear Jonathan Seagull. Were you standing on the shore or on a boat?
