very rare gull at Brooklyn Bridge Park
- Reported Feb 09, 2025 17:28 by Doug Gochfeld
- Brooklyn Bridge Park, Kings, New York
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=40.6996104,-73.9973745&ll=40.6996104,-73.9973745
- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S212712120
- Comments: "**very rare. Apparent Short-billed Gull, but perhaps cannot definitively rule out Common Gull. Adult floating in the marina amidst Ring-billed Gulls for a few minutes from 17:35-17:42 or so, before I lost track of it. Small yellowish (light was failing) bill with some dark smudging towards the tip, smudgy streaking on the nape, neck, and head, giving a heavily cowled appearance. Apparently dark eye, but difficult to discern given light and distance. Mantle color significantly darker gray than the surrounding RBGUs, with a very broad white tertial crescent. Short-billed seems most likely based on extensively smudgy head pattern, apparently small bill (though there is overlap with Common), and darkness of mantle. It lines up well with the individual recently seen in Central Park (which has been identified as Short-billed via primary pattern), but with these views, there's no way to be sure of that. Low quality photos, and some digiscoped video."

Feb 2 surprising two Common Goldeneye on prospect lake
Lily Shih,A devoted prospect photographer who takes photos of birds yet isn't an experienced birder nor connected to discord,took these close photos yesterday. I flipped when she showed them to me today at the feeders.
Just had to smile and shake my head when she didn't realized she took photos of rare Common Goldeneyes for prospect. Both are hens.
It turns out after a check of the prospect checklist there were actually 3 hens , reported by Howard Walfish
Check his report

Shadows across the landscape
I believed saw his shadow signaling a late spring. For late Birds of winter that doesn't help.With consistency, the usual still hang around.
Shadows at Greenwood Cemetery include those belonging to Red headed Woodpecker, Chipping Sparrow and Baltimore Oriole. Battle hill around Hemlock ave is the woodpeckers domain ; both Chipping Sparrow and Baltimore Oriole remain at Dellwater at the feeders and beehives respectively. One shadow cast by the hen Common Merganser upon Sylvan water left by
ate morning when I arrived. But I see see companions pair drake Bufflehead and hen Hooded Merganser there.
Meanwhile Prospect offers its own shadows. The American Tree Sparrow now hangs out with Muncie by the dog beach ,behind the wood fence of the ballfield.On the Lake 13 Brant revisited touching down near Three Sisters Islands. There was a report of some seen yesterday on the ball fields ,with canada geese.

Happy Groundhogs Day!
Groundhog Day, celebrated on February 2nd each year, is a day of hope and optimism. It serves as a reminder that spring will eventually come, no matter how long winter seems to last. The tradition involves checking whether Punxsutawney Phil, the Pennsylvanian groundhog, can see his shadow. If he does, North America can expect six more weeks of winter

- Comments: "*very rare. Perhaps the first park record. Juvenile at the marina. Smallish GLGU, a bit smaller than the GBBGs, but towering over the surrounding RBGUs when it was perched on the docks. Milky/cappucino aspect with pale wingtips, smallish eye, and extensively pink-based bill with black tip (pink/black border not exactly vertical, but pretty close). First seen at 17:30, sitting on the water, where it looked mostly like a Glaucous Gull, except that it looked a bit rounder-headed, and seemed comparable in size to the RBGUs it was floating near, leading to initial confusion on the ID. Once it perched on the end of one of the long docks, in the company of the three common species of winter gull that occur here, that confusion vanished, as it was clearly a Glaucous. Digiscoped

Quick visit GWC dellwater
Even if common in due season, the sight of two out of season birds in wintertime is a thing. First was two chipping sparrows at the second feeder, enjoying seed with a bunch of cardinals and some gold finches with nut hatch,chickadee and juncos. I figured the oriole was by the behives and I guessed right.
Seeing another birder already there, I took immediate looks at the beehives and there's a single Baltimore Oriole- likely a female on the ground, as it scour the ground. I said to myself " ok,cool winter bird and im happy". It was my first attempt of these long staying birds.

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued."
