Re: [nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Mew Gull -- NO
For what it's worth, there are generally multiple thousands of Ring-billed Gulls on Coney Island Beach, just a couple of miles to the SE, as well as hundreds in the Sheepshead Bay and Marine Park area a little east of there. There are also usually a few hundred between the Owls Head wastewater plant and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Floyd Bennett Field's evening RBGU roost is in full effect at this point in the winter as well, as there were over 2000 there a week ago. These all seem like potential alternate locations for the Mew Gull if it isn't showing at the Gravesend Bay location. The most likely alternate places in my mind, based on proximity and high concentrations of appropriately sized gulls, are Coney Island Creek Park (or anywhere in Coney Island Creek where there are gulls hanging out), Coney Island Beach, and the Owls Head Wastewater Plant.

[nysbirds-l] Common Redpoll - Staten Island
There was a flock of 24 Common Redpoll at Great Kills Park. Go all the way to the end of the road. There is a sign there that says permits are required to go on to the dirt road. Make a left and park in the parking lot. There is a path that leads to the beach right at the corner of the lot. Walk west on the beach. The birds were ranging widely and feeding in the grasses bordering the beach. They were mixed in with a large mixed flock of Tree Sparrows, Song Sparrows and Goldfinch. They spent most of the time in the area just in front of where a wooden fence begins. Also there has been female Goldeneye on the pond at Monravian Cemetery that may be a hybrid Common/Barrow's. Still trying to work out the details of this bird. I looked for it this afternoon but did not see it. Will report if the bird is refound or if a final determination on it is made. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
