Hi All; On Friday Martine and I were exploring birding sites along the length of East Point, in PEI, and we noted several thousand gulls hawking insects above the farmfields along the length of the highway between Souris and East Point. Most of the gulls were Herring and Ring-billed, but there were small numbers of Great Black-backed Gulls mixed in as well. I guessed that Crane Flies were the object of the gulls' attention. No Bonaparte's Gulls were in evidence in this feeding melee, despite being numerous along the coast of eastern PEI -- I noted thousands of Bonaparte's Gulls in the estuaries and mud-flats of the island. And during our two ferry crossings I could see a steady stream of these gulls flying back and forth across the Northumberland Strait between Nova Scotia and PEI. Explore and enjoy, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blake Maybank maybank@ns.sympatico.ca Editor, "Nova Scotia Birds" author, "Birding Sites of Nova Scotia" http://maybank.tripod.com/BSNS.htm White's Lake, Nova Scotia, Canada
