Might be the same juvenile Sabine's Gull that myself, Ted Murin, and Hank Kasner (sp?) saw around 8:00 this morning from Charlotte Town Beach just northeast of Noblewood. We caught sight of it twice within a half hour but then lost it when it appeared to settle on the water. Later we could actually see Matt (presumably) standing with his scope on the beach at Noblewood. Seemed like there was quite the gathering of gulls on the New York side. After the Sabine's action this morning, we saw 1 juvenile dark-morphed Parasitic Jaeger that hung out for nearly 20 - 30 minutes mid-lake, on two occasions pursuing ring-billed gulls for a meal. Other highlights: 80+ Common Tern 14 Black Tern (highest single count when scanning from CTB) and whatever else other members of this morning's crew would like to add.
