Shortly before 4:00 this afternoon I found a Mew Gull (most likely Common Gull) off of Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island. Bird was feeding off of the jetty in a large flock of Ring-billed Gulls and some Bonaparte's Gulls. This is basically on the Staten Island side of Gravesend Bay. It is an adult bird and was seen well at fairly close range in the scope. Eventually lost the bird when I tried to get video of it with my phone. Hopefully I can refind it but with this storm who knows.
