My first
Lesser Black-backed Gull in
Brooklyn was back in 2010. They are not common in our area and so I was especially pleased to learn of
two spotted by Peter Dorosh near the shore along
Coney Island Creek near the
Six Diamond Ball Fields. Somehow, I have to continue trying to convince Peter and others to not only tweet and or text these sightings but to also post them to the list serve.
Lesser Black-backed Gulls are worthy of posting even if it is just posting to eBirdsNYC and not to NY state. Here are some photos.
This is a nice comparison of a Great Black-backed Gull and Lesser Black-backed Gull in the same frame, which was obtained via phonescope
(taking the photo with my iPhone and Scope using a special adapter).
