male
I did a run west of Montreal to about 10 km from the Ontario border. Traditional open habitat for Snowies. I had 18 after 4.5 hours of intense searching. One all white male (except for a couple spots I could make out on primaries) was dazzling. This male of unknown age was definitely a smaller bird. More juvenile females are showing up now.

Amherst Island (Kingston) - Getting close to an adult Red-tail is exceptionally rare in my experience.

Amherst Island (Kingston) - this dark morph bird is a presumed juvenile based on how close it allowed me to approach (in the car of course).

adult, winter plummage
Cornwall - This second adult Thayer's Gull has less head marking than the other bird. Some Thayer's Gulls have dark eyes but others are light. Both of these birds had eye colour similar to Herring Gulls. CORRECTION: After careful consideration and review by an experienced gull watcher this may be a hybrid Thayer's Gull and Kumlien's Iceland Gull.

adult, winter plummage
Cornwall - This bird was a pleasant surprise. You can clearly see the smaller size compared with the adjacent Herring Gulls.

juvenile
Ingleside - I worked with this bird for 30 minutes and by the end I could approach fairly closely in the car. The sun came out for a very brief time giving me some nice light for my subject.
