I was at East 72nd Street from around 12:00 until 4:00. There was a lot of turnover of gulls throughout the period. I ended up with 8 species,1 hybrid and two unidentified birds. Here is a brief summary: Bonaparte's gull- 1 adult Ring-billed gull- common Herring gull- abundant Thayer's gull- 2 (1 2nd cycle and one adult) Kumlien's Iceland gull- 4 (2 2nd cycle, 1 3rd cycle, 1 adult) Lesser black-backed gull- 7 (2 1st cycle and 5 adults) Glaucous gull- 5 (2 1st cycle, 1 3rd cycle, 2 adults) Great black-backed gull- common Great-black-backed gull x herring gull- 1 adult Dark mantled herring gull- 1 adult (This bird looked a bit like a Vega gull. Much slimmer thinner build than the typical Great-black-backed gull x herring gull hybrids that we have been seeing.) Ring-billed/Common gull ?- 1 1st winter bird (this bird was coarsely barred on its head, chest and belly. The rump was barred as was the undertail coverts. The Tail band was broad as in a young herring gull rather than the typical ring-billed tail band. Not sure if this was just an odd marked ring-billed gull or what.) I posted some photos of this bird at: http://www.rarebird.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7113 <http://www.rarebird.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7113&PID=21618呲> &PID=21618呲 John Pogacnik 4765 Lockwood Road Perry, OH 44081 ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
