There was a different first-winter Common/Mew (not certain of subspecies yet) roosting with ~ 400 RBGU and 1 BOGU on Veteran's Memorial Pier in Brooklyn (Kings County) this morning. First seen about 11:20 it was on the pier for about 10 minutes before taking off and flying (more like sailing in the stiff NE wind) towards Staten Island where I eventually lost it. I spent another 15 minutes shivering to see if it would return but it did not. I will post pictures ASAP. Shane BlodgettBrooklyn NY --
