This afternoon (9/7), after taking care of business in Patchouge, I routed myself back home by way of the above ocean location. Lounging in its parking lot, were ~ 100 gulls, made up of our area's 4 regular species. One of the lessers appeared to be in 1st winter plumage, with the 2nd bird, an adult, still in full breeding plumage.
