With apologies for the belated report, I observed a WESTERN GREBE from about 10:15 to 10:45 this morning ~400 yards off of Riis Park in Queens, NY. The bird was amongst a large flock of RB Mergansers and Long-tailed Duck. With the wind and choppy water I had a hard time staying on the bird and

Doug Gochfeld just called to say that he and Scott Whittle have refound the Mew Gull. I believe that Bob O'Neill (another Brooklyn birder) alerted them to the presence of the bird. It was on the water of Gravesend Bay near the foot of the pedestrian bridge that crosses the Belt Parkway at ~

and location if this bird might be the same bird that Angus Wilson found in April, 2009. That was a second winter and this is an adult. BTW, if anyone has an extra scope lying around, I'm in the market... See you afield sometime, Shane Blodgett Brooklyn NY   -- NYSbirds-L
