Mew Gull (European) (Larus canus canus) (1) CONFIRMED
- Reported Feb 10, 2021 13:36 by Doug Gochfeld
- Prospect Park--Prospect Lake, Kings, New York
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=40.6553787,-73.9686421&ll=40.6553787,-73.9686421

- Comments: "***Very rare. Continuing first-winter/juvenile/2CY. Found it standing on the ice for the second day in a row around 13:55. Today it spent most of the rest of its time in the lake in east view, unlike yesterday. Today it only went missing once, for around 20 minutes. Flew off to the west and out of the park ~15:55. Most of its time was spent fairly distant on the ice, but it moved around quite a bit, and just before it departed for the evening it was very close to the western shore, allowing for exceptionally good looks. Video, photos (much better than yesterday)."
