Manhattan, N.Y. City - Friday, May 2nd -
There was the April 4th, 2025 Swallow-tailed Kite seen by M.B. Kooper and others from Governors Island. And then on Friday the 2nd of May with a flock of over 50 Bonapartes Gulls out over the Hudson River from the lower west of Manhattan, a Little Gull was noticed and photographed and-or also photographed and noticed, by A. Cunningham. The gulls are all confirmed from the eBird report with photos now archived in the Macaulay Library. Yes gulls happen in May too.
Excellent general migration is ongoing in the region, more reports of more-regular species to come...
Good birding to all,
Tom Fiore
