I stopped briefly to East 72nd street on Friday morning.  I was only ably to
stop for about a half an hour.  It was difficult to see with all the steam.
you had to wait for the occasional clearing of steam to scan.  I had two
adult lesser black-backed gulls and a first winter GLAUCOUS GULL.  In
addition there was one hybrid gull.  It was fairly large and had a clean
white head and appeared to be an adult GREAT-BLACK-BACKED x HERRING GULL
hybrid.  I also saw a second year bird that may have been the same
combination.  Unfortunately I only got a brief glimpse of this bird.
