Herring Gull fledgling

Description:

Adults are white with gray back and wings, black wingtips with white spots, and pink legs. Immature birds are gray-brown and are darker and more uniform than European Herring Gulls with a dark tail.

Habitat:

It occurs in a variety of habitats including coasts, lakes, rivers and garbage dumps. Its broad diet includes invertebrates, fish and many other items. It usually nests near water, laying around three eggs in a scrape on the ground.

Notes:

I spotted a lot of Herring Gulls, Mallards and Canada Geese at Dufferin Islands, just upriver from the falls.
