I located the Slaty-backed Gull this morning at 9:15am right behind the =
East Bay Motel. It may of been there earlier as I ran into Ken Hoffman =
and Bruce Stahly and they may of seen much earlier then 9:15am. The gull =
looked ok but not great. The feathers on the folded flight feathers =
looked worn and frayed. The wings were held in a slight droop. The =
left eye is still injured and reports are that the eye looks like its =
healing. There is some scaling on the bill and in the photos I taken =
this morning you can see this happening. Bruce Stanly fed it some fish =
and anchovies and the SBB Gull looked like he enjoyed the freebie. I can =
honestly say that this gull will be a fixture in Grand Marais for =
sometime unless it dies from some illness or preyed on. There are a few =
places to see photos of this gull and if you are not tired of seeing =
photos of this gull follow the link below.
Here is the link to the photos: =
