After an approximately 45 minute search, Della Wells, Zenon Bachir, and I were able to locate the Common/Mew Gull around 4 PM today (1/16/2010). It was found about 100 yards SE of the pedestrian overpass bridge (over the Belt Parkway near Bay 16th St.) The tide was moderately low at the time. The Common/Mew Gull was in the company of 15-20 Ring-billed Gulls and was searching among the exposed rocks in the intertidal zone. Photos will be posted on www.rocklandaudubon.org soon. Alan Wells
