Dotty
Fleury reported a LESSER
BLACK-BACKED GULL
in the Hudson River at Chelsea Yacht
club. Allan and Barbara Michelin went to see it on July
1. Barbara called Gary &
Adrienne Zylkuski and Steve Golladay to also take a look.
From what they all saw they believed it was a Lesser Black-backed
Gull. Barbara Butler went on July
2 and
found a gull that seemed more to be a Great Black-backed
Gull with pink legs and much larger than the Herring Gulls
nearby.
The
bird was on the south side of the Chelsea Yacht Club's property.
It stayed around for a week. |
