I was just watching a lone RBGU foraging in the mudflats here at the end of Corkums I, Lun Co. I don't know about the rest of NS, but I see these all the time around coastal Lun Co alone or in small groups (<10). The population has seemed stable in this area for at least the past 5 years. But I do not remember ever seeing them regularly 10-15yrs ago. James Hirtle's posted eBird reports seem to reflect a similar small-but-present local population. I understand RBGUs are the "city" gull in many places (ie central Canada) and present in huge numbers in parking lots, dumpsters etc. Should we be expecting their numbers to greatly increase around here as Canada Geese have? Or is competition with Herring Gulls likely to keep them uncommon? Nancy
