They are back to the Great Lakes area.
I heard that there are tens of thousands of them along the Lakeshore of Lake Ontario,
further down South.
Thanks for looking.

Great dorsal view of this beautiful species, Karl. Whites handled well and I like the two-tone BG. Well done!

Very nice flight shot. I saw these in flight in Iceland and if I remember correctly they are pretty fast flyers
