Sorry for the late post but I wanted confirmation from several sources regarding a Mew Gull on Harbor Island, outer Muscongus Bay. On Tuesday, 24 Sep 2013, several of us saw a distant small gull, approximately 700 feet away. It was first seen flying for a few seconds before it alit with two Herring Gulls.
We were busy with boarding folks on a boat so weren't in a position to get closer but pics confirm that it's a Mew Gull, possibly?? the same individual as the Thomaston bird. After roosting on a ledge for a few minutes, the gull flew off and was not re-sighted. Glad the Thomaston bird was so widely available for viewing!
I'll post a few pics shortly.
Best, Peter
