This morning I had 3 adult Lesser Black-Backed Gulls on the ice at Dorchester Park in Whitney Point, NY. The birds were with 1st and/or 2nd cycle herring gulls. This is the 3rd year in a row, at least, that we have had this species in Broome Co. Strangely, it has been several years since I have had a great black-backed gull which overall is more common in NY state....
