Yesterday afternoon a Glaucous Gull was seen resting on a piling at Bush Terminal Park (43rd St & 1st Ave) in Brooklyn. A Black-headed Gull was resting with a flock of Ring-bill Gulls on the berm between the two impoundment ponds there as well. Bobbie Manian reported a Blackheaded Gull by Pier 5 in Brooklyn Bridge Park at nearly the same time though we couldn't confirm that these were two different gulls - poor photos are being examined to see if we can distinguish two different BHGUs.
The Glaucous Gull and Black-headed Gull have been in the area for the last few days either at BTP, BBP or 58th st (parking pier for the water taxi and ferry).
