Bonaparte’s Gull, Lake Musconetcong, NJ, June 1, 2015 (photo by Alan Boyd)
The only storm related bird of note today in the mocosocoBirds region is a Bonaparte’s Gull at Lake Musconetcong (Alan Boyd). This is a rare find for this time of the year at an inland location. In fact, the eBird Range Map applet shows none for inland New Jersey in the month of June of any year. The closest is a record from Saw Mill Creek in the New Jersey Meadowlands…today, June 1, 2015.
