Brooklyn. A Glaucous Gull is keeping me company in the parking lot while I
continue to look.

The first-cycle (American) *MEW GULL* (Larus canus brachyrhynchus)
continued today in Brooklyn.
Crippling views of the bird were enjoyed with Angus Wilson who was onsite I
like was, for a while before the bird showed. First observed on the
Ballfields which unfortunately was subsequently invaded by
Spent a couple of hours searching the relevant spots this morning, including
Coney Island Creek, without success.
As Doug Gochfeld mentioned yesterday, the Brooklyn coast and parks are a major
wintering area for Ring-billed Gulls and there are numerous alternative spots
that should be checked i
For what it's worth, there are generally multiple thousands of Ring-billed
Gulls on Coney Island Beach, just a couple of miles to the SE, as well as
hundreds in the Sheepshead Bay and Marine Park area a little east of there.
There are also usually a few hundred between the Owls Head wastewater plan
The Mew Gull present in recent days at Gravesend Bay, Brooklyn was

The Mew Gull could not be located in the vicinity of Bensonhurst Park along
the belt in Brooklyn today (1/29/10) despite an exhaustive search of all
Ring-billed Gulls in the area. Numbers of gulls are apparently way down
from earlier in the season, as I would estimate there were no more than 150

I had the Common {Mew} Gull at the 17th ave pedestrian bridge in BKLN
yesterday at 2:15-2:30 along with Bob Hayes. He got several photos at

west, and we were lucky that it was in one right next to the bridge as

I found the Mew Gull actively feeding in the water further south than
reported earlier, just south of 19th Avenue. The bird was almost directly
opposite the Exit 5 sign on the Belt Parkway. This spot is where the rock
jetty
ends. One thing I noticed is its feeding behavior. The bird was act
Present today from 1:53 - 1:58 and again 2:22 - 2:56 P.M., on the grassy area

The Mew Gull was present in the same location (just south of the
pedestrian bridge) around noon today as well. It stuck around for
about 20-30 minutes, then flew off with the rest of the group. I lost
it as it went behind the trees on the opposite side of the belt parkway.

All,
Today at about 2:00pm I saw the adult MEW GULL swimming just offshore from
the bike path on the Belt Pkwy. This was about 1/3 mi west of the ballfields
previously described by Shane Blodgett. It was foraging with several dozen
Ring-billed Gulls, but it disappeared when I went back to the ball
