Greetings birders - Today a bunch of birders hit East 55th and East 72nd for gulls and waterfowl. Tally was 8 species of gulls. Details below. A single female Canvasback, single female Redhead, a single female Lesser Scaup, and at least 25 Gadwall were hanging out in the East 55th boat marina. An amazing number of Lesser Black-backed Gulls today - this report mentions 22 as our liberal high count. It's fair to say we had "around 20" total.
