Glaucous Gull in Brooklyn - 1st Feb

A juvenile/ first winter Glaucous Gull has been hanging around the Bush Terminal Piers Park in Brooklyn. An absolutely smashing bird, it spent a few minutes circling the area with a large flock of mainly Ring-billed Gulls, before returning to its roost by the rotting pilings at the northern end of the park.

Other birds in the area included a male Eurasian Wigeon, as well as several other winter ducks inlcuding Bufflehead, Greater Scaup, Gadwall, American Wigeon and American Black Duck.

Male Greater Scaup.
