Re:[nysbirds-l] Glaucous Gull Brooklyn

2013-12-22 Thread Dennis Hrehowsik
I've had a few inquiries so to Clarify there were two Glaucous Gulls at
Coney Island Creek Park Today. Bobbi Manian and I Initially saw an all
white gull flying over the far west end of seagate from the 37th street
jetti that briefly landed on the water but was too far for a positive id.
in an effort to get a closer look we went to coney island creek park and
walked west on the beach where we found an immature glgu sitting on the
water behind the sea gate homes there. this is when i reported bird. it was
then joined by a second glgu in similar plumage that flew in from the south
west (maybe this was the first bird we saw?). the two birds were together
for ten or fifteen minutes before one flew off and out of sight over kaiser
park. when we left the remaining gull was still on the water near seagate
and was later refound in the area. this was more than i felt i could write
from the field at the time and was satisfied that other birders were
alerted to the birds presence and managed to get on it.

Happy Holidays,

RE:[nysbirds-l] Glaucous Gull Brooklyn

2013-12-22 Thread Rob Jett
It took a while, but I eventually relocated one if the Glaucous Gull by the 
sand spit at the mouth of Coney Island Creek at 3:30pm. It was in the company 
of a couple of thousand ring-billed, herring and Great Black-backed Gulls.

Good birding,

Rob
