I found the Mew Gull actively feeding in the water further south than reported earlier, just south of 19th Avenue. The bird was almost directly opposite the Exit 5 sign on the Belt Parkway. This spot is where the rock jetty ends. One thing I noticed is its feeding behavior. The bird was actively plucking at the water for food, in a way similar to what I've seen Bonaparte's Gulls do.
