Shailee Shah, a Cornell undergraduate working as an ornithology intern at SML, writes:

Huzzah for the second banded gull I’ve spotted on Smuttynose this summer! I looked up its history in the Gull Database when I got back to Appledore and apparently it was banded on Sandpiper Beach as a chick in 2006 and had only ever been re-sighted once, off the Isles of Shoals. So it’s exciting to know that it has returned to the isles and is nesting on Smuttynose!
