Hi everyone,

What seems like a slam dunk Glaucous-winged Gull was found by Kirk Zufelt today in Sault Ste. Marie. Where he found it has ZERO access for birders, but he observed it fly off towards the St. Marys River, so it could be found where gulls concentrate there, like the rapids off Whitefish Island or in the Station Mall parking lot around the old Sears building. No positive reports from the river area yet this afternoon. The SSM CBC is tomorrow so there will be lots of eyes out looking then.
