Not the best day for Gulling with the high winds but it was fun. The highlights were: 1st Cycle Iceland Gull @ Brooklyn Army Terminal Pier. Looks like the one I reported back on 1-3. Also still present was the continuing Appledore banded Herring Gull C47 (white on green).
At Gravesend Bay (Middle parking lot), I found another 1st Cycle Iceland Gull amongst the few hundred Ring-billed Gulls (RBGUs) who I swear seemed amused at my efforts battling the wind. I closed out at Floyd Bennett Field checking on the RBGU roost. The tide was not in my favor (low) but there were a few hundred loafing on the beach, which I sifted through.
