Happy 2021 birders!
On 1 January I observed what I called an "interesting Herring Gull" at Guthrie Park in Corunna, ON, but was unable to get good photos due to distance and shooting through a snow storm, and didn't give any further thought to it. On 2 January, Deryl Nethercott photographed the same gull, noting smudging on the nape, extensive black in primaries, and black markings on tail. The photos can be seen here: https://ebird.org/canada/checklist/S78559313
Open to scrutiny for this gull. But in any case it's been seen 2 days in a row. Please don't bring any more covid to Lambton if you are thinking about looking for it.
Guthrie Park:
