All: On a trip to Onslow-Masstown, Bernice and I found that all the Canadas were consolidated in the early afternoon on the fields below highway 2/4 not far beyond McWilliam Road. I guestimated in poor light about 3500 CANADAs all-told, with some smallish, long-necked, dusky-breasted ones, but nothing exotic except for a family of four and two separate SNOW GEESE, probably the same ones seen earlier. I wonder if it's getting late for more Iceland/Greenland geese to show up. At Masstown, I was momentarily excited by and photographed a gull the size and general features of a RING-BILLED, but with no band on the bill. Closer study (and the photos) indicated that it had been probing the the field, and its bill tip was obscured by a thin layer of mud. Did see a young ICELAND GULL with the flock of gulls at the otfal "boil" of the Bedford sewage processing plant. Cheers, Ian
