I know this is out of state but they are likely headed south. Keep your =

NJBIRDS:

Yesterday, 9/15, CMBO received a report of two possible adult
Black-tailed Gulls at Graveling Point in southernmost Ocean County.
Michael O'Brien talked to the observer and gathered the following
details:

The two birds looked the same: clean white head and underparts;
"Laughing Gull" gray upperparts; "Laughing Gull" wing pattern with
black tip and white trailing edge; white tail with clean black
subterminal band and thin white tip; roughly Laughing Gull size. Bill,
leg, and eye color were unfortunately not noted. The birds were
observed standing in the salt marsh and were last seen flying across
the bay toward Brigantine.

Graveling Point is at the south end of Radio Rd. (Rt. 609) which meets
Rt. 9 in Tuckerton. Birders are encouraged to check both Graveling
Point and Brigantine Refuge, as well as other areas where gulls may
congregate.

Thanks to Michael and CMBO for the report. Please let CMBO know if the
birds are seen again, and attempt to get photos or video documentation!
