The continuing Black-headed gull was standing on the ice off Stewart Park at
4:15 PM today. It was at the SE corner of the main gull flock, close to shore.
Thanks to the finders and other reporters for sharing this cool gull!

In my country (Sweden) the name for Black-headed gull is 'laughing gull', a
name I understand has been used here in the US as the colloquial for yet
another species instead (Leucophaeus atricilla)--even though the Latin name of
the 'Black-headed gull' does say it's the laughing one:
Thanks Ken. I spoke with Ann Mitchell yesterday, she is in France with Linda,
and she told me B-H Gulls are everywhere :) It’s always funny to think of one
person’s rarity as another’s Wegmans bird.
Thanks to Bob’s field trip for spicing up the day.
