Hello,
Many large gulls and Ring-billed Gulls were roosting along the shore
of Seaside Park in Bridgeport this evening. I estimated 1200 Herring
Gulls, 35 Great Black-backed Gulls and 400 Ring-billed Gulls.
Approximately 300 Canada Geese were present on the lawn and shore.

On the Western empidonax front: a "Western" Flycatcher was banded last
fall at Manomet Center of Conservation Science's banding station. Here
is the link: http://www.manomet.org/naturereport/#flycatcher

Good birding,
E.J. Raynor
