During a bird walk at the Setauket Mill Pond today at 11am, we discovered a winter-plumage BLACK-HEADED GULL swimming, and foraging around the mudflats of the inlet north of main pond around low tide. For a brief period he flew around showing his bright reddish orange legs and feet off.
This area can be accessed by walking back through the wooded path of the Frank Melville Preserve until you emerge in a clearing; the short path to the salt flats is to the left.
