I forgot to post this the other day ... I made a quick scan of the Hanover Parkway pond at lunchtime on Tuesday (2/16). There were about 300 gulls, the majority were large (mostly Herrings and some Greater Black-backeds) . There was an adult Lesser Black-backed (graellsii) present. didn't get a chance to scope them out.
