I saw the photos last evening of the bird you referenced and offered my perspective on the ID. Indeed, it was a 1st CYC Ring-billed Gull (RBGU). Larophiles in our area will tell you that the “candidate” from yesterday, is something we see in Brooklyn, Queens and the Island of Long. Nevertheless, it is always a good thing to take a more critical look at these diminutive looking RBGUs because one never knows what you may uncover even if it’s along the lines of learning more about the “common” species.
