I'm always a bit leery of calling them intermedius, because of the variation in mantle shades of graelsii and "dutch intergrades". There has also been some talk of "splitting fuscus from the other 2. I don't know if anyone has claimed that one for NS. I have just ordered the new gull book on line, and I'll have to see what it says about all this. I might get a chance to go to Grand Pre tomorrow - where were the gulls? BTW, I forgot to mention that there was a grealsii LBBG at Pond Cove on Brier on Sat., and there may have been another LBBG at Tiverton yesterday, but the observers were unable to get a good look.
