[nysbirds-l] Gulls in Bellport Bay, Long Island
This evening, at approximately 5:30, I came across a large concentration of over 850 large gulls roosting around the Bellport Bay Yacht Club, at the end of Bellport Lane. Due to the rapidly fading light, I was only able to work over about 250 gulls. However, among those I studied, I found a 1st Winter Glaucous Gull (loafing on the north dock), a very pale 1st Winter Iceland Gull (among the gulls on the bay) , and 5 Lesser Black-backed Gulls (2 adults, 1 3rd Winter, 2 1st Winters).
