7 species of gull today at the fountain in the boardwalk shopping plaza immediately west of the traffic circle at Ira Needles Blvd and University Ave. Gulls feeding in the dump behind the plaza come to rest at the fountain and drink/bathe. Lesser Black-backed Gull (1 estimated 2nd year bird)Greater Black-backed Gull (~12, juvenile and adult)Iceland Gull (~12, juvenile through adult including many kumlien's)Glaucous Gull (~8, 3 adult and 5 juvenile)Herring Gull (abundant)Ring-billed Gull (1 adult)Thayer's Gull (1 adult). This time i was able to photograph the adult Thayer's, despite the poor lighting/weather (if you are interested). http://mustap.smugmug.com/Nature/Birding-in-Ontario/WaterlooDump/11045791_NVtdpr#!i=1687759743&k=SvNjP3s Cheers, Peeter
