[nysbirds-l] Three Comments on Common Birds

As a break from rare and uncommon birds, here are some observations of Brant, Ring-billed Gull, and Blue Jay. There is currently a huge staging of Brant in southwestern LI--far in excess of the admittedly vast numbers present here during the winter. I estimated 9,000 in a single scan of the
