Biked to Randalls Island, not much activity until I reached the north side, across from New York Post building. A couple of Ring-billed Gulls and a half-dozen Laughing Gulls. In the group was I believe a Black-headed Gull. First time ID for me - about same size as Laughing Gulls, much paler, bright red legs, ear-spot, and a red bill with black tip (definitely not a Bonapartes Gull). Did not get to see fly.
