RE: [nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Pelagic 6-17-12
Based on Steve Walter's one photo (sorry, I could not find any other photos), this appears to be a leucistic Herring Gull. Clearly not an Iceland Gull with that bill and head. Also, the bill would show some dark on an all white Iceland Gull. It is also likely not a Glaucous Gull because it is an adult or near adult (red spot on the bill) and should show a gray mantle. Also, the wingtips are a bit long for Glaucous Gull. It really looks perfect for a leucistic Herring Gull.

[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn hummingbirds
On May 24th Bobbi Manian spotted a Ruby-throated Hummingbird nest in Prospect Park while on Tom Stephenson's walk. I only found out about it recently and went to check it out this morning with Bobbi. There were two rather large nestlings squeezed into the lichen-covered nest. At around 10:40am we watched the adult female return to the nest and briefly feed the two. Her offspring are large enough that I would think they'd be fledging very soon. From what I've been able to glean from available literature it is extremely rare for hummingbirds to breed within NYC's 5 boroughs. To my knowledge this is the first time that they've been documented successfully breeding in Prospect Park (or anywhere in Brooklyn). I'm curious if anyone on the list is aware of other breeding records in New York City. I'll be posting a couple of videos on my blog shortly.

[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn hummingbirds
On May 24th Bobbi Manian spotted a Ruby-throated Hummingbird nest in Prospect Park while on Tom Stephenson's walk. I only found out about it recently and went to check it out this morning with Bobbi. There were two rather large nestlings squeezed into the lichen-covered nest. At around 10:40am we watched the adult female return to the nest and briefly feed the two. Her offspring are large enough that I would think they'd be fledging very soon. From what I've been able to glean from available literature it is extremely rare for hummingbirds to breed within NYC's 5 boroughs. To my knowledge this is the first time that they've been documented successfully breeding in Prospect Park (or anywhere in Brooklyn). I'm curious if anyone on the list is aware of other breeding records in New York City. I'll be posting a couple of videos on my blog shortly.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Pelagic 6-17-12
Based on Steve Walter's one photo (sorry, I could not find any other photos), this appears to be a leucistic Herring Gull. Clearly not an Iceland Gull with that bill and head. Also, the bill would show some dark on an all white Iceland Gull. It is also likely not a Glaucous Gull because it is an adult or near adult (red spot on the bill) and should show a gray mantle. Also, the wingtips are a bit long for Glaucous Gull. It really looks perfect for a leucistic Herring Gull.
