On an otherwise lackluster and rather routine afternoon of birding the Premium Mill Pond and Larchmont shoreline, I found one immature Black-headed Gull wading along the shore of the Mill Pond at low tide, with a Ring-bill.
I was just visiting the area for the holiday, but I grew up nearby, and have birded the Premium Mill Pond area consistently for more than 40 years. This was the very first Black-headed Gull I've seen in Larchmont.
