Posting again since the bird was flushed by off leashed dogs and went missing
for a bit. I relocated it in the Lagoon. It has since frequented the parking
lot but keeps moving around due to the increased weekend vehicular traffic.
Last observed sleeping in the Orchard Beach parking lot.
Also of note for the Bronx. I had a sitting Bonaparte's Gull on the beach
earlier. Usually, the few I have seen here were all flybys.
Additionally, Steve Walter showed me a photo of a Gull he photographed in the
lot this AM. From the camera screen this bird looked like something between a 1
CY Ring-billed and Laughing Gull. I did not spend any length of time on
studying the photo but imagine if it turns out to be a Franklin's Gull. I
expect Steve will review his photos and provide an update later.
I kept an eye out for Steve's bird but never connected with it. Birders
twitching the Black-headed Gull or just in the area should keep a lookout for
Steve's bird.
Cheers,
