Confirmation of a wintering ground of Ross's Gull Rhodostethia rosea in the northern Labrador Sea
Ross's Gull Rhodostethia rosea is one of the world's least known seabirds; < 1% of the estimated global population can be accounted for at known breeding sites, and its wintering range has never been determined. Anecdotal reports over the last two centuries have prompted extensive specu...
