Looks like we're in the midst of another LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL invasion. I had my new county high count of *22* in the flooded fields on Herman Road in Dryden this evening, along with one the lingering GLAUCOUS GULLS ( http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S22810797), and I had counts of 6 or more at Stewart Park yesterday and at least 9 sleeping on ice north of Stewart last Sunday. At least one adult and one immature ICELAND GULL have been seen at Stewart Park in the last few days as well. A LESSER YELLOWLEGS was feeding in the back of the Fall Creek Road flooded area in Freeville just around the corner of Herman Road. Much less expected were two female COMMON GOLDENEYE. This spot also has hosted a surprising number of Redhead during the past week, but the only one I saw this evening was at Herman Road.
