?One of two Glaucous Gulls observed on pond on south side of Alexan Blvd. just west of Wisteria Circle. Flew east lazily towards pond to the east but did not relocate. Gulls sp. are flying back & forth across the road, between ponds.

It is located between Woodside Av (CR99) and Horseblock Rd (CR16). Easiest way to get there from Sunrise Hwy is Exit 57N. North on CR16 past Brookhaven Landfill. The entrance to the Atlantic Point Apartments is the 1st traffic light after Landfill, Alexan Blv. If coming from Expressway (I495) Exit 65 and proceed southbound on CR16 for approximately 2 miles. Right turn on Alexan Blv into complex. Can also get to Complex off of Woodside Ave (CR99). 2nd traffic light west of CR16 then Right turn on Sawgrass Dr then right turn on Alexan Blv. Complex has a gate but is open during the days, at least on weekdays. Not as large as you think can be walked. Parking allowed on Sawgrass Dr if gate is down. Parking not allowed on Alexan Blv but plenty of parking surrounding the buildings. Both Birds on Alexan Blv. 1st bird on south side of Alexan Blv (heading towards CR16) at pond just west of Foxglove Circle. Pond is located next to a green dumpster. That bird has been there 2 days. 2nd bird on north side of Alexan Blv across from Wisteria Circle. The Gulls seem to prefer the three pond in center of complex and also sit on Apartment roofs. People are friendly but might get frightened by Scopes and Binoculars so just be polite and let them know what you are doing. It might actually help the birds because the Gulls do appear to be quite a nuisance.
