Two that I believe qualify, with my justification:


Ring-billed Gull - March 18. 10 bright full adults roosting with Herring Gu=
lls off Privateer Park, Liverpool, Queens Co., were not present earlier. Th=
roughout the winter 1-2 Ring-bills, usually first-winter (occasionally adul=
ts) have been present.


Lesser Black-backed Gull - March 11. An adult graellsii arrived among roost=
ing Herring and Greater Black-backed Gulls off Privateer Park, Liverpool, Q=
ueens Co., slept for a while, and then headed off seaward. The timing is co=
nsistent with northward movement from wintering areas in the southeastern U=
SA (likely toward nesting areas in W Greenland or Iceland, although no doub=
t by easy stages so early in the season).
