We found the gull on the water not far from shore. Once again it flew up high but appeared to resettle on the water farther out.

Jane Graves and I last saw the bird flying high overhead, and lost it when it flew directly over us and became obscured by the willows that we were standing under. It was fairly high at that point, and it seemed like it might be taking advantage of the strong north wind to head south, so we turned after a minute or so to scan the sky to the south, but we didn't see it. I did a fairly quick scan of the lake one last time after that, and did not see it. So, the bird might have departed, but I certainly hope not! Kevin McGowan was arriving as I departed, so perhaps he was able to track it down. Good birding, Matt Medler Ithaca ________________________________ From: Matthew Medler <m...@cornell.edu<mailto:m...@cornell.edu>> To: CAYUGABIRDS-L <cayugabird...@list.cornell.edu<mailto:cayugabird...@list.cornell.edu>> Sent: Saturday, September 13, 2014 4:50 PM Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Sabine's Gull Still present now, 4:48 pm.
