This morning I observed a Lesser Black-backed Gull at the outflow near =
Dartrmouth Peace Pavillion that appeared to me to have a darker grey =
mantle than the one of this species I photographed at Albro Lake in =
January.

Because of its shade of grey and the viewing distance involved I =
considered the notion of Slaty-backed Gull , but I was able to eliminate =
that possibility with a brief view of the gull in flight, revealing =
significant yellow (as opposed to pink) legs. The posted link reveals as =
well the small size of this gull when compared to others in the =
immediate area.
