[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Iceland Gull

2016-02-17 Thread Rob Jett 
There was an immature Iceland Gull in Prospect Park today. I spotted it at 
around noon as it milled about on the mostly frozen Prospect Lake with the 
numerous Herrings, Ring-billed and a few Great Black-backed Gulls. A pleasant 
surprise as it was a park first for me in my 20+ years of birding Prospect.

Good birding,

Rob

[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Iceland Gull

2013-01-05 Thread Rob Jett 
Today Heydi Lopes, Keir Randall and I birded Coney Island Beach and Coney 
Island Creek. While scanning Gravesend Bay from Coney Island Creek Park, Keir 
spotted what appeared to be a white-winged gull about 1/4 mile to the West. We 
walked down the beach to get closer looks and confirmed the ID as a 2nd year 
Iceland Gull. The gull was spending a lot of time in the water near green buoy 
#1, fairly close to shore, at these coordinates:

 40°34'58.74"N
 74° 0'19.95"W

It was observed between 1:20pm and 2:37pm moving from the above location, 
Northeast, towards the end of Calvert Vaux Park and back. If you go by car 
there is parking along Bayview Avenue near West 37th Street.

Good birding,

Rob
