This morning the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher continued at Coney Island Creek Park, calling frequently and feeding actively, near a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. It was originally found by Shane Blodgett on Thanksgiving morning.
Also of interest there were ~170 Bonaparte's Gulls in Gravesend Bay (including over 50 that floated all the way up Coney Island Creek until they were adjacent to Kaiser Park), and 17 White-winged Scoters that flew in from the inlet and landed near the base of the Brooklyn tower of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. At Floyd Bennett Field there are ~15 Field Sparrows spread between two different locations, which is reasonably notable for the date as far as I know. Good Birding -Doug Gochfeld.
