[nysbirds-l] Iceland Gull, Central Park NYC 2/15
Monday (President's day), 15 February, 2016 - On the Central Park reservoir (in Manhattan, N.Y. City) at ~ 2 p.m., I spotted an Iceland Gull in roughly the center-most portion of the 80% iced-over reservoir; from the western side of the reservoir, standing very approx. near what would be W. 89 St., the gull was in good view, sitting on ice but just to the east of a wide & very long stretch of open water that runs approx. north-south. The conditions are not great, the gulls are (were) moving a bit, & there were perhaps 500+ gulls scattered around but esp. in the central area & on a n.-s. axis. I may or may not get back with camera, & even then, photo-ops won't be very good, as the gull's position was too far from any one place to watch from. In the 15+ minutes I watched, it was however unobstructed by any other birds. Also present was the smaller Canada Goose, which may be a Lesser (form), but not a cackling; the geese were mostly gathered closer to the north side pumping station bldg. A female Common Merganser is still present, & there were still a good many N. Shovelers, but reduced no's. of most of the other waterfowl & such which are rather regular in winter there.
