I dutifully checked three gull flocks in southwestern Suffolk Co. this morning and found LBBGs at each:
Heckscher SP: 1 adult & 1 juv (also an adult and a juv American Golden-Plover among soggy Black-bellies) Robert Moses SP: 1 3rd Summer/4th Winter (=4th calendar year = 3 year-old) Captree SP: 2 juvs I believe Patricia's three juvs together yesterday were, for a day, a new statewide max for this historically poorly documented age class. The appearance of at least 14 more today is truly remarkable!
