Iceland Gull

First winter Iceland Gull/Larus glaucoides. Presumably the kumlieni subspecies (of three). Rare here, and rarer still to get such close-up looks.

With the Usual Suspects, Ring-billed Gulls/Larus delawarensis.

Note the whiteness of the Iceland’s wings. Ring-billed, American Herring, and Great Black-back, the standard local gull species, all have black wing-tips, as the passing Ring-billed shows here.

At another NYC/EDC property, Made in Brooklyn, I was told by a security guy that I couldn’t take photos… of ducks in the bay. Pfffft!
