[CT Birds] Gannets Bonaparte's Gulls and maybe Kittiwake Niantic Bay

[David.F.Provencher at dom.com]

There have been several adult Gannets in the bay in addition to the
Boney's. Also saw a distant gull over the bay that looked to be a Kittiwake
but was just to far out to pull the ID trigger using the mid/low quality
bins through a thick plate glass window. I'd say I was 90% sure it was a
Kittiwake based on dorsal pattern and size.

>From Dave Provencher:
12/12 -  Waterford, Niantic Bay -- 70+ BONAPARTE'S GULLS and at least 3
adult NORTHERN GANNETS working menhaden
school. Possible Black-legged Kittiwake.
