Black-legged Kittiwake, Branch County

[Jhawillet at aol.com]

Sandy Schacht and I observed an immature Black-legged Kittiwake among a  
flock of 100-150 Bonaparte's Gulls at the Branch County sewage treatment  facility 
on the north edge of Kinderhook about 2:30 p.m. today.  The birds  were 
mostly in the northwesternmost pond.  About 2:45, the flock took off  and flew 
around.  At least half of them left, the Kittiwake  apparently among the 
departures; at least, we could not find it  again.  I have photos if requested for 
documentation.
 
Also present were one Greater Scaup and one White-rumped Sandpiper plus  
numerous more common birds.
