Over the past few seasons, I have become quite familiar with banded
Herring Gull C47 who has made
Brooklyn one of its favorite wintering sites. I have had countless encounters and taken many photographs. This bird was banded by Dr. Sara R. Morris in 2005 at
Appledore Maine when it could not fly. In 2017, it was in its
13CY (calendar year). My last observation was on 2-15-2018, where I watched it interacting with
Fish Crows as they appear to have devised a plan to extract treats from a nearby garbage can. Some photos
C47 from this Winter.
