Ivory Gull
Behaketaren xehetasunak
Piermont Pier, Rockland Co. Apparently the first record from Rockland Co., NY. Likely present from at least 2/23/07. On that date photographer Steve Sisti reported an unusual white gull at the Pier to Carol Weiss. Carol spent a short time on Saturday searching unsuccessfully for what she expected to be an Iceland Gull. On Sunday 2/25/07, at approximately 2 PM, Drew Ciganek located and identified an Ivory Gull. He immediately notified Carol and other RAS members. The bird was observed from 4:30 PM to 5:15 PM by 20-30 people at distance of approximately 150 ft at Fly Wheel Park (at the base of the Pier). During this time, it was loafing on the ice with a group of Ring-billed Gulls. It then flew north toward the Tappan Zee Bridge where it appeared to join a group of Ring-bills floating far out into the Hudson River. (Click photos to Enlarge. Photos were taken under very low light conditions.) The gull was last seen at the at the Pier Monday afternoon (2/26/07) flying north toward the Tappan Zee Bridge. There was a sketchy report of a sighting on 2/28/07 of the gull on the river ice near the Peekskill train station.
