Hello all, On 3/31, I stopped by Merwin Point in Woodmont, CT to scan the Bonaparte's Gull flocks, which were only 50 yards offshore. I estimated 250 Bonaparte's Gulls were feeding directly off Merwin Point. Some American Wigeon and large gulls were mixed in with the foraging group of Bonies. At 1:45pm, I discovered an adult Little Gull in basic plumage by checking every Bonaparte's type gull for white on the dorsal side of the primaries. Most gulls were picking invertebrates(barnacle larvae?) off the surface but as the tide changed some gulls began to move around and head to Oyster River. As Tony Amato arrived, I immediately let him peer through my scope at a floating Little Gull. Within a minute I spotted an adult Black-headed Gull that landed on the eastern edge of the flock, which contained the Little Gull. As Tony watched the larger Black-headed Gull through my scope some more Bonies arrived from the west; Burwell's Beach. Soon enough we had another Little Gull grace our bins with its dark underwings as it joined the foraging flock. Around 3:00pm Tony and I decided to head over to Oyster River, where a few other birders were scanning the loafing Bonaparte's Gulls. We found the Black-headed Gull preening on the eastern end of the flat and a Little Gull sleeping with Bonies on the western side of the exposed flat. The first Little Gull's brownish hood matched the individual in Nick Bonomo's photos( http://picasaweb.google.com/nbonomo/LittleGullAtBurwellBeach ) from 3/28 at Burwell Beach-Milford. The second Little Gull's hood was not as extent and barely noticeable. A digiscoped image of one of the two at Merwin's Point is here: http://www.pbase.com/image/76518060 Lets hope the Bonaparte's Gull numbers continue to build and other goodies are found! Good birding to all, E.J. Raynor Fairfield, CT www.pbase.com/ether9
