today in Woodbury/Syosset (Nassau County) I noticed immediately that

Hi everyone! Jacob and I are really thrilled to have discovered this gull last
weekend on a trip to Coney Island. We have only been seriously birding for a
year or so now, and we weren't planning on making any bird counts that day, but
we hadn't actually ever recorded any Laughing Gulls on our
I watched the bird for several hours, and it was still in the same area around
4PM when I left. Was still mostly on top of the men's room as described in
other posts. Would fly off for food or when all the gulls went together for a
brief swim in the ocean. Otherwise was right there.

Hot summer Sunday afternoon from 2:30 - 3:00 PM - no luck. Half a million (or
more) noisy people on the beach, the boardwalk and in Astroland on the north
side of the boardwalk. No gulls at all on the ground. Not more than 20 gulls of
any kind in the air or perched on the roof of the bath
For onyone who hasn't had their fill of Gray-hooded Gull photos yet, I've
posted a set at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/35575873@N02/sets/72157627324292860/
Some of these show wing molt and wing and tail feather molt, and a couple show
the bird with iconic landmarks in the background.

I went to see the Gray-headed/hooded Gull at Coney Island in Brooklyn this
morning with Sean Sime and Ann Shaw. (The bird goes by either name depending
on which reference you are reading.) We were lucky and the bird was very
cooperative sitting on the beach by the fake palm tree/water shower
This morning just before noon Bob Proniewych and I saw the White Ibis at
Wallkill - Liberty Loop trail. The bird was first seen in flight over oil city
road flying into the impoundment just north of the road and then across the
gravel lane to the impoundment on the east side where it was seen
There are five Black-bellied Whistling-ducks at the Edwin B. Forsythe National
Wildlife Refuge (Oceanville, New Jersey). You can locate the ducks around the
big observation gull tower (they tend to be together). The ducks have been
spotted in the ponds around the tower. In addition to the

Shai, that it seemed to be moulting and presumbaly into adult winter. I am not
sure if it means anything, but the tips of the primaries are
Having studied the Brooklyn Gray-hooded Gull at some length yesterday, my
impression was of an adult in breeding plumage, with flight feathers no more
worn than would be expected on a wild bird at the start of the pre-basic molt.
The bird appeared to have commenced with such a molt, lacking its
The Gray-hooded Gull was seen by myself, Doug Bloom and Orlando Hidalgo from
around 8am to 9am at the same spot across from the ferris wheel where it has
been seen regularly. A juvenile Lesser Black-backed Gull was farther down the
beach.
