There was an adult ICELAND GULL and 2 RED-NECKED GREBES feeding off shore of the Coney Island boardwalk at 37th street. This is the western end of the boardwalk.
This is the first adult Iceland I have ever seen in Brooklyn. It was feeding amongst ~750 Ring-billed and Herring Gulls and exhibiting kleptoparasitic behavior.
