American Herring Gull (smithsonianus) 7cy C01 February & April 24 2011, Ogunquit Beach, Maine. Picture: Dave Hamlin.

See website: The Gulls Of Appledore

C01 was banded as a chick in July 2005 near Hamilton, a building at the center of the Shoals Marine Lab campus. The bird was subsequently observed by Kathy Abbott in August 2005 at Jenness State Beach (Rye, NH).

C01 was not observed again until it returned to Appledore Island in May 2008 where it was seen standing on the roof of one of the teaching labs; it was observed atop a campus building again in July 2009. This gull is now an adult and may begin breeding this summer.
