Migration
:
Casual
early Aug to late Sep, usually in association with Bonaparte's Gulls. The most
recent

recent
Oct-May records.
Summer
:
Exceptional

Miscellany: In the early 1970s, one or two Little Gulls spent the early
winter
with a small flock of Bonaparte's Gulls in Cromwell Cove, Bar Harbor attracted presumably to sewage effluent. There have been few records in
recent
years, perhaps related to the decline in Bonaparte's Gulls.
