Today Jen Spallin and I visited the Lefleche Dump east of Casselman which had several hundred gulls including many Glaucous and Iceland. The topography of the dump makes it difficult to estimate numbers but at any given time up to thirty "white-winged" gulls were visible, including all age classes. There were also good numbers of Great Black-backed and Herring plus one putative Glaucous x Herring (seen only in flight). Other birds included 2 Rough-legged Hawk and 2 Lapland Longspur. The Dump is located at the west end of a road of the same name, located on the Cornwall road just south of highway 417 (first exit east of Casselman).
