[CT Daily] 03/17/2008 LITTLE GULL

[Roy Harvey]

 From Greg Hanisek, Bill Banks, Randy Domina:
3/17 - Milford, Pond Point -- c 2:30 p.m. low tide 1 adult basic
LITTLE GULL, 1 adult BLACK-HEADED GULL with almost a full hood in
flock of 800 to 1,000 Bonaparte's Gulls.  None of the Bonies
approached the head color of the Black-headed, so it's easy to find
(OK, relatively).  We accessed the site from Platt St. Gulls were all
on beach to west, but later flew out onto water.  Thanks Stacy Hanks
for info on this site.  There was one Bonie at Oyster River and c 30
at Burwell Beach (Villa Rosa).
