Turns out the flock the kittiwake flew off with also had an immature LITTLE
GULL in it. Unsurprisingly, the birds were not relocated, although some
observers had a few Bonaparte's fly over in Danby later in the morning.
Checklist with photos of the kittiwake and Little Gull here:
Unfortunately the bird flew south with about half of the Bonaparte's flock,
up and over the woods towards downtown Ithaca.
