There was a probable Nelson's Gull spotted at Scranton Flats overlook around 6 today. 2nd cycle bird, a touch of black near the wingtips, pale brown-white color. Bigger than the Herring Gulls, smaller than the Great Back-backed Gulls. The pond was teeming with mergs, but some Canvasback and Black Duck were present. This was NOT the "duck pond", this was the actual observation deck. Bird spotted a to the left of the small area of open water visible from the observation platform, back up against the wall. Beautiful size comparison with nearby Herring and Great Black-backed Gulls.

Good birding,
Gautam Apte
