Daniel Frazer asked me to post this on his behalf. He found what he believes is a first-winter California Gull off the middle parking lot of Gravesend Bay, Brooklyn this morning. He has posted a single photo on Facebook in both the North American Gulls group as well as Brooklyn Urban Birders.
This is one in a series of parking lots accessible only via the eastbound Belt Parkway below the Verrazano Bridge. Gulls that frequent this area can range widely as many of you know from countless Mew Gull searches. Any area along the waterfront from Bush Terminal to the north and Coney Island Beach to the south should be checked. He will post additional photos (hopefully in a public gallery) tonight. Welcome back, winter!
