Here are 13 images of the Slaty-backed Gull in Ashland, most digiscoped and a
few with the DSLR:

Not great but good enough. If only all unusual gulls were as textbook as this
one!

> Around 11:00am today I found an adult SLATY-BACKED GULL along the Ashland
> lakefront of Chequamegon Bay, Lake Superior. The bird was with several
> Herring Gulls on the ice about 200 yards north of the Ashland marina.
> Unfortunately after ~10 minutes the bird got up and flew south inland and out
> of sight. However, I was able to get distant but diagnostic photos of the
> bird both perched and in flight and I'll post those later. There's a good
> chance the bird is long gone but there's at least some chance that it will
> return to the bay. Check all lakeshore points as typically there are no gull
> concentrations here. One exception is the waste management facility at the
> industrial park just south of Hwy 2 on Ashland's east end (near a large radio
> tower). This is our first record of Slaty-backed Gull in the Chequamegon Bay
> area!
>
> Ice is quickly forming on Chequamegon Bay but good numbers of geese, swans,
> and ducks are present as the final push is underway. I have been searching
> for Ashland's Gyrfalcon almost daily for the past 10 days or so with no luck
> yet. Could return any day now though.
