Hi everyone, In possible addition to the Cammann's Park bird was an adult spotted in the Jones Beach West End bay-side area this morning. All I can say is there was a Black-headed Gull resting in Merrick around 1PM. Photos look okay for two birds - the JBSP bird seems to have a slightly different facial pattern and a slighter bill. There was an immature Red-shouldered Hawk by Norman Levy Park just a little before that. It landed close to me on the ground, briefly. It was the first I'd actually seen on LI, despite having heard others. That's it. Brendan Fogarty --
