From Don Sutherland, Nov. 22 1998:

> past the football stadium. It was in the company of 2 Laughing
> Gulls, so it was great to see the comparison. I had looked in

Jim Williams and I did not see any Franklin's Gulls in the area at about 7:30-8 AM, but we later heard from Pete Bacinski that a group from Montclair Bird Club saw one some time Sunday morning, in addition to Don's sighting.

At Sandy Hook, apparently the Painted Bunting has not been relocated.

Thanks to Don Sutherland and Pete Bacinski for help with this alert.
