GRAY-HOODED GULL without success. Places visited in order from 6:15-11:45 were
Marine Park ballfields, Floyd Bennett, Plum Beach, Manhattan Beach, Sheepshead
Bay Marina & the Coney Island boardwalk east of the Wonder Wheel.

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

Thanks to the wonderful posts from New York birders I waited to 2:00pm to
make the drive from NJ. When I arrived at Coney Island at 3:20pm (low tide was
2:04pm) I was somewhat disheartened by the thousands of people on the beach.
The Gray-Hooded Gull (as many of you already know) was present again today.
As I left the boardwalk at Coney Island someone (Edna) said, "Oh, I thought
