About an hour ago at Brooklyn Army Terminal I came on the presumed Short-billed Gull Andrew Baksh found a few days ago at Bush Terminal. I sat on it awhile waiting for a spread wing shot but missed that 15 second window when someone threw bread and the Ring-billed flock it was with took flight. I am still trying to find it again, a few others are helping. Rain is making visibility difficult, but Veterans Pier might also be worth checking. If anyone finds it, I believe a spread wing shot would help establish the species most definitively.
