Over a hundred Ring-billed Gulls have occupied the pastures and a pond on this horse farm, near the Holland Marsh, on Hwy. 9, for the past few summers. Often dozens of Canada Geese join them, as well as the occasional cormorant (see photo at left). I believe these gulls are far-ranging in the area between Lake Simcoe to the north and Lake Ontario to the south, but have an affinity for this horse farm at certain times each day. I must pay attention to see how long they continue to visit this spot when winter arrives and the pond freezes over.
Please comment if you wish.
