FYI,

Apparently the news didn't reach a lot of us soon enough...

Common Gull found by Angus Wilson in Brooklyn, NY today..


The COMMON GULL actually came back about a minute or two after it
flushed around 4:00 PM. The bird stayed around and seemed to be
relatively happy with it's current spot at 5:30 PM when me and my
father left it there with three other birders remaining. It was pretty
easy to see most of the time I was there between 3:00 and 5:30 PM.
I will post photos within the hour at
http://picasaweb.google.com/fresha2411. You can zoom in with a button
just above the top right of the photos when i post them.
If there are a lot of people there tomorrow I would recommend parking
in the Home Depot/Walgreen's Parking Lot off Avenue U, and walking
around behind the Walgreen's.
