Gull Identification at Coney Island

Date: Saturday, November 11, 2023

Leaders: Roberta Manian and Dennis Hrehowsik
Public Transportation: (The exact meeting place and time will be shared with attendees after their registration is confirmed.)
Schedule: Half-day trip that can be attending using public transportation. 
Relative difficulty: The walk of two to three miles will take place mostly on the beach, so expect possible windy and cold conditions.

Brush up on your basic gull ID skills in time for the Christmas Bird Counts (CBC)! Join us at Coney Island to learn how to identify the basic winter gulls in all their cycles. Bring a scope if you have one and be prepared to stand still for long periods on a windy beach (i.e., dress warmly), as well as trekking two-three miles, depending on what we are seeing.
