Hey all - Two CALIFORNIA GULLS were present at East 72nd St this afternoon, relatively close to shore: a first-cycle and gorgeous third-cycle bird. All of us were able to view the first-year bird, but the near-adult bird flew out after a stay of a minute or so. Those in attendance included: Ethan Kistler, Jim & Bret McCarty, Gary Meszaros, Ryan Steiner, and I. Ethan had been present at E 72nd for several hours prior to my arrival, and him and I came up with the following tally: California 2 1st & 3rd Thayer's 2 1st Iceland 6 Ethan reported a total of 4 1st's early on & two adults were observed Glaucous 4 three 1st, one ad Good birding - Gabe Leidy Cleveland ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
