Andy called a while ago to report that the MEW GULL was present this morning at about 8 o'clock, out on the water about 100 yards north of the Bay 16th Street crosswalk. At about 8 15, it flew eastward, inland with a group of Ring-bills.
I've heard some speculation that that departure is because the gulls go to a pigeon feeding station somewhere in the nearby neighborhood. After an indeterminate period of time, they return to the waterfront park and/or adjacent waters.
