I cannot say that the Black-legged Kittiwake has moved on, but I was in Port
Washington for a couple of hours yesterday morning and I was unable to find
it. The adult and first-year Glaucous Gulls were present, however. I also
saw an interesting gull that could have been a first year Glaucous/Herring
or Glaucous-winged/ Herring that had pale gray primaries and a heavy
all-dark bill, but it only made a couple of fly-bys along the north harbor
breakwater, and it unfortunately did not land so I could get a better look.
Due to the east winds, a number of the gulls (including the two Glaucous)
were foraging in the waves just north of the treatment plant that is north
of the harbor. Some gulls were resting on the docks beyond the ducks off
from the restaurant (among them was a near-adult that I felt was likely a
Thayer's, but it was sleeping the entire time I was looking at it --
although it would sometimes blink its dark eye open), and more gulls were
sitting on the north breakwater wall, but they were pretty distant. No
Great Black-backs were observed.
