Observation details
Kathleen MacAulay, Ellis d'Entremont and I found a Laughing Gull nest with one egg on the western end of Flat Island, here (43.505069,-66.0082235). Today's nest along with a pair that nested on Sable Island in 2001 and 2003-2009 are the only confirmed breeding records of the species since 1941 when a colony was present on the Bird Islands off Harrigan Cove, Halifax County. We suspected that breeding at Flat Island was possible after having observed a territorial pair there on September 4, 2022 (https://ebird.org/checklist/S118105964).
