This afternoon at roughly 1:50pm Doug Gochfeld and I relocated the Plum Beach Franklin's Gull. Once again the bird materialized without being seen flying in. Today it was on the flats just south of the easternmost dunes actively feeding on the incoming tide. We wondered out loud how many

To everyone in our birding community:  Please read the following. When I see restoration of the Ramble and the Ravine I am deeply frightened.  I'd like to hear what others make of this.  The meeting on W. 60th Street is in a few days.  Pat Pollock - Forwarded Message - From:

Joe Giunta, Sam Jannazzo, Bill and I (Sy Schiff) found the FRANKLIN'S GULL, looking east from Plumb Beach, on the sandy beach across Gerritsen Inlet. It was mixed in with about 15 Laughing Gulls about 4-500 yards away. At that distance it was a very difficult call to ID the target bird.

Sam Janazzo just reported that the Franklin's Gull continues at Plum Beach Brooklyn. Currently being viewed at the East end of the beach on the opposite shore. Note, this area is near the bridge for those not familiar with the location. Cheers, 風 Swift as the wind 林 Quiet as the forest 火

After an hour wait at the east end of Plumb Beach, the Franklin's Gull just flew in, calling continuously, and seemed to head west along the beach towards the parking lot. Keir Randall Brooklyn Sent from my iPhone > On May 27, 2015, at 10:53 AM, Jane Simmons <17st...@gmail.com> wrote: > >
