Short-billed Gull (Larus brachyrhynchus) (1)
- Reported Dec 27, 2021 10:51 by Brendan Fogarty
- Bush Terminal Piers Park, Kings, New York

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S99526893
- Comments: "***Feeding off in bay. Very few records for NYS and east coast, but records around NYC for a few winters now, possibly involving returning birds (although there have definitely been more than one). Adult. Even at a distance, dark shawl (lighter of head) apparent to identify the individual, with darker gray mantle and broad white skirt. When first seen, was close enough to see that the beak did not have any black ring. Picking at surface with a small group of RBGU. Found by Andrew Baksh a week ago today (who has diagnostic wing shots), seen first this morning by Shane Blodgett, who found it quickly at Army Pier 4 at 59th around 9:50. From there it drifted north continuously until about noon, when it was seen in Red Hook near Conover St, and then lost. Poor photos."
