I birded back and forth between Sherwood Island SP (Westport) and Southport Beach this morning. There were many plankton feeders about, again. I estimated about 10,000 gulls total visible along that stretch of coast. Highlights were 3 Lesser Black-backed Gulls and 300 Bonaparte's Gulls. >From Nick Bonomo: 3/18 - Westport, Sherwood Island SP - LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL (first cycle), 5 Northern Gannets, American Pipit Westport, Burying Hill Beach - 2 LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS (adult and 3rd or 4th cycle) Fairfield, Southport Beach - EURASIAN WIGEON, LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL (same 3rd or 4th cycle bird from Burying Hill Beach), 300 Bonaparte's Gulls Nick Bonomo Wallingford, CT
