Ross’s Gull (Rhodostethia rosea) Breeding in Penny Strait, Nunavut, Canada

We found a small, previously undiscovered breeding colony of Ross’s gulls (Rhodostethia rosea) in Nunavut, Canada, approximately 80 km from a previous colony location occupied during the 1970s. The birds nested in association with arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea). The collective observations from th...
