A relatively impressive gull roost has been forming on Stump Pond at Blydenburgh County Park in Smithtown since it iced over last week. Today it included a 3rd winter ICELAND GULL. The ice is quickly retreating toward the north end of the pond, putting the bulk of roosting birds farter from the vantage point at the boat rental docks. Good birding, Peter --
