During a bird walk at the Setauket Mill Pond today at 11am, we discovered a winter-plumage BLACK-HEADED GULL among a small group of Ring Billed Gulls on the main pond south of the old mill. Also present were a large number of American Wigeons, Gadwalls, and some Ring-necked Ducks. The Pied-billed Grebe that was seen on last month's walk was still around as well.
A couple of pictures of the gull are here: http://flic.kr/p/aE68No Sara -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
