There were birders hard at work diligently searching FBF from the first light. I left the scene of the crime around 1:15 pm crossing the bridge over to Fort Tilden where I searched that area as well as Riis Park, until about 3:30 p.m. when I finally conceded that the bird was elsewhere.
My only consolation for lots of walking today was a Parasitic Jaeger seen off of Fort Tilden during a late seawatch. There were loads of gulls off shore at Tilden dominated by Laughing Gulls with ample numbers of Bonaparte Gulls in the mix. Many Laughing Gulls were moving west with small flocks of Black and Surf scoters. When I departed Tilden, the Gull flock had thickened but were further offshore. Good effort by all who came out to FBF today and put in the work! > On Nov 16, 2014, at 1:23 PM, Rob Jett <citybir...@earthlink.net> wrote: > > After an exhaustive search since dawn this morning Heydi Lopes and I are > finally throwing in the towel.
