The Thayer's Gull has not been seen so far this morning. Joe DiConstanzo, James Knox, Dawn Hannay and myself has been on the pier for varying amounts of time since shortly after 8am. I had to leave at 10:30 for work, but the others continued the vigil.
If you go, dress warm and bring food to toss. The gulls like popcorn.

The bird intrigued Alan and after consulting some references last night he sent me some photos wondering about it being a Thayer’s Gull. I have circulated them to a few people and the consensus is that it looks good for a Thayer’s. I have Alan's the pictures up on my Inwood Birder blog ( www.inwoodbirder.blogspot.com)for people to look at. Alan saw it yesterday morning around 9:45 am. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ -- -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
