I spent about an hour at East 72nd this afternoon. As Gabe reported earlier in the day, the total number of gulls was only a few hundred. The only species that I managed to spot other than the usual suspects was a beautiful 2nd cycle Glaucous Gull. There was also a nice variety of ducks, all obligingly close for viewing. Ebird list follows.
