Unfortunately just the messenger... A little late for any action today, but just putting out this list with a couple Slaty-backed Gulls from the Westminister landfill site south of London, at the corner of Westminister drive and White Oak drive. Access to the actual landfill is limited (I have never gone in), but the gulls often loaf in the adjacent fields. https://ebird.org/checklist/S62277499 Tomorrow is the London Christmas Bird Count, and the landfill just so happens to be an area that I will be checking out, probably around midday, depending on how the morning goes, so will definitely update if seen again. Please update if you see it, people will want to know :) Good birding, Quinten Wiegersma London, Ontario Sent from my Bell Samsung device over Canada's largest network.

The adult Slaty-backed Gull is currently in a field just Northwest of the City of London Landfill. It can be seen from Scotland Drive at this Google Maps location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/bMGXBfReCRrgFhkZ9 I haven't seen the 2nd cycle bird yet. To teach this location from out of town take the 401 to the Wonderland Rd. North exit and take your first right onto Scotland Drive. Once you cross over the 401 you'll come to a T intersection.
