Ring-billed Gull delawarensis XPK adult, April 22 2011 & April 24 2012, Île Deslauriers, Varennes, Québec. Picture: F. St Pierre.XPK on the nest. If you find one banded bird, please report it here. XPK, bird in the Deslauriers colony that had been fitted with ARGOS-GPS last summer. These PTT collect 2 GPS locations (± 10 m) per day and transmit the data once a week via the Argos satellites. Last summer, the bird with blue band XPK flew to Rivière-du-Loup before moving to Edmundston, New Brunswick where it spent the entire fall. He went to Jacksonville, Florida for the winter before returning last week to Varennes. We spotted it today on its nest where a first egg had been laid. Another individual (Blue CJ6) marked last June was observed with its partner (Blue CJ4) near it former nesting site. It spent the winter south of Richmond in Virginia after spending the fall near Trois-Rivières, QC. below: delawarensis adult, April 2011. Picture: F. St Pierre & C. Girault. |
