Slaty-backed gull, Essex, Ontario, Canada, Jan 17, 2019.
A life bird for Anne and me.
It is the gull in the bottom, centre in the flight shot.
In the second photo it is in front of a great-backed gull.


This gulls normal range is the coasts of northeastern Asia.
It regularly shows up in Alaska during the summer and occasionally in the winter.
This year it has been showing up in various locations in Ontario, usually at landfills.
Larus schistisagus
