Having yet to see my first snowy this season, this afternoon I headed down
to Dune Rd., and wound up covering it completely, from Shinnicock Inlet
(Hampton Bays) to Cupsogue Co. Park (West Hampton Dunes)...with no change
in that dubious distinction ! I did, however, see an A.Bittern in open
water o
No Slaty-backed so far this afternoon but I just found an adult MEW GULL
loafing with Ring-billed above the falls at Minetto, Oswego County.
Currently foraging below the falls.

Just had the slaty-backed Gull on the ice shelf at lock 6 in Oswego. All
of the Gulls are now in the air. A glaucous was also present.

It came in ahead of a bluebird group at 9:20 AM and fed on the bittersweet
berries on the NE edge of the field. The bluebirds hung around for a bit
perching nicely on goldenrod stalks but I couldn’t find the TS again.
