[nysbirds-l] FRANKLIN'S GULL - Northport, Suffolk Co.
Hello!! At 8:00 pm (high tide) an adult FRANKLIN'S GULL was loafing with around 20 Laughing Gulls on the close sandbar at Crab Meadow Beach in Northport, Suffolk County. After just a few minutes, the birds were flushed by a group of small kids and they all flew strongly west. I stayed until it was getting too dark to see but they didn't come back. I'm not aware of how early they start charging at this beach, but it costs $30.00 to get in when they are (free with a Town of Huntington Beach Pass).
